2.1.14 High-pressure safety valve
The high-pressure safety valve is fitted to the air conditioner com‐
pressor or the receiver.
The valve opens at a pressure above approx. 38 bar and closes
again when the pressure has dropped (approx. 30 bar).
Not all the refrigerant is lost from the system.
Depending on the version, a transparent plastic disc may be fitted,
which breaks when the valve opens.
