AC Black Death Levels

Add comments

I have spent alot of time talking about Black Death and showing black death pictures and i even copied them on my knol.

The black death pictures in previous blogs were of very bad systems. The picture below is from a Honda CRV Compressor. We did a quick test on the system by wiping the inside of the port. In this particular vehicle the contamination that was removed from the Sanden Compressor does not seem that much, but it is plenty to destroy a compressor. This particular compressor locked up and the system failed. Everything had to be replaced.

The lesson from this is that ANY contamination can destroy a system. In this case the level of black death may have been small, but it is way too much. It is crucial to thouroughly clean out the system to ensure you don’t destroy the new compressor. A small amount of debris will cause a compressor to fail.
