How often should an air conditioner short cycle?
Short-cycling on and off of an A/C compressor unit every few minutes (say 1-5 minutes) sounds to me like a diagnosis and repair are needed.
What causes an A / C compressor to cycle on and off?
The charge is probably slightly low. Refrigerant is not the same thing as “cold juice”. Low refrigerant initially results in colder evaporator temperature, not warmer. The A/C compressor cycling switch will cause the compressor to cycle on and off more and more frequently as the refrigerant charge drops.
Why is my car air conditioner cycling on and off?
I turned the A/C off and stopped putting R-134a into it becuase the compressor cycling was almost causing the car to die from the load it was putting on the engine. Onto Google I went. Everywhere I turned, people said that if the compressor was cycling on and off quickly, that meant the compressor was low on freon.
Why does C display something in every 3 seconds?
The sleep function causes your program to wait X seconds before returning. Note that this is between executions, so it won’t be running your command exactly every 3 seconds, but close enough for most purposes. Also, some platforms have usleep where the u stands for micro which could get you more resolution.

When does the a / C CLUTCH turn on and off?
After a while it starts to engage for few seconds and than back off for about 10-15. While A/C clutch is engaged, pressure gauge shows it to be on bottom side of green. I have followed direction on bottle of A/C Pro to fill my unit. But it have not made any difference.

Why does my air conditioner run all the time?
During very hot weather your air conditioner system may run just about constantly. If it is producing cool air the system is probably working normally. If, however your AC unit seems to never turn off, see the diagnostic details at LONG-ON CYCLING AC COMPRESSOR ..
