FORD FS-10 (Visteon) Calorimeter Test Results
The first compressor was run on a NEW system to establish the baseline. Oil and refrigerant was drained from the system, (no flush) with the compressor, orifice tube, and accumulator being replaced for the second test. Each compressor had an identical charge of factory lubricant and the second had 1.5 oz of ICE 32 added to it.
Summary
– Changes in each compressor between the pre-test and post-test
evaluation.
Capacity - While
every new compressor can have measurable differences in output
capacity when installed on the test stand, this chart indicates the
changes that occurred within each compressor after the life cycle
test was performed

Discharge Air Temperatures - As
noted in the capacity summary, the differences in air temps are
reflective of the changes that occurred within each system after the
life cycle test was performed.
