Re: A/C comp control?

On a factory A/C system the compressor runs continuously, the POA (Pilot Operated Absolute)valve keeps the evaporator from freezing and building excessive pressure. Most after market systems use a binary switch to basically do the same thing by cycling the compressor off and on.

They make a POA upgrade that fits in the space allowed on a factory air system to convert to a binary switch to cycle your compressor.

If your POA is a Delco brand it is non rebuildable if it is Frigidaire brand it is rebuildable and can be converted to 134A specs.

That's all I know about that.
