We tear down an RV2 AC Compressor so you can check out how this little "V-Twin" air conditioning compressor works. If you need to get your compressor restored, visit us at www.originalai...
Cool I wish you have pulled the front plate to get a look at the seal and bearing. Also please make a new video showing removing the EPR and properly installing the thermostat. This would be very helpful as it is impossible to find info on redoing these old A/C's for OE look and function. A proper R134A conversion would also be more than helpful. Not everyone is switching to the rotary vane type.
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Sonny Roy thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You can now find this kind of stuff only on large city buses and coaches. Too much vibration, noise, weight and volume for today's cars, but very interesting concept back then. However, the wobble plate and swashplate designs seem to have took over and scrolls and vanes then followed.
Was wondering about this. I have a 68 Chrysler Newport with one of these old style RV2 A/C compressors. I read that you can retrofit them for R-134a use by changing the EPR to a thermostat, changing the compressor oil, and replacing your gaskets/seals on your lines. Anything more to do besides that if you have a working compressor?
You really need to flush the entire system to get out as much of the old mineral oil as possible, because it's not compatible with the newer refrigerant. The gaskets entirely depend on what type they are, if you have O rings, replacing them is a good idea. If they're metal crush gaskets, then they're fine. You'll also want to replace the receiver-dryer, anything that old is going to be long spent.
