Hi,
My father alwyas goes by the rule that if you shut off an AC compressor, it should stay off for at least 3 minutes before you turn it back on again... It can cycle how it desires, but main shut off/start up should wait at least that time.
He read this long ago, but was more or less unsure why... he just knows that having 10+ year old cars that still have the original charge, cold air and operate great (he also ALWAYS has the AC on, even in the winter) is indication that something is right about what he is doing.
Im curious if anyone has heard of this 'rule' and can speculate why it is so.
THanks,
JMH
