Honda Prelude A/C Compressor Clutch

When the hottest seasons of the year are on the rise and your cabin’s cooling unit is on the fritz, dont count on rolling down the windows to keep you cool. Pick the right parts to get your Hondas air conditioning system functioning once more, including compressors, A/C clutches, pulleys, evaporator coils, refrigerant fluid, and more from Exedy and other brands.

The Honda Prelude A/C compressor clutch is a mechanical throw that keeps a multi-state system locked into a particular mode. If youre driving a manual transmission, you know that the clutch is essential to switching gears on the fly, and the compressor clutch for your Hondas A/C works the same way. By allowing your A/C to turn on and off, the clutch is an essential component not only for your cabin-cooler to run in the first place, but also to shut it off when it isnt needed anymore.

In your Prelude, this component works by preventing the compressor from switching states unfavorably. This allows it to remain in an on or off position as needed until the clutch toggles between the two. The stimulus for this toggling mechanism can vary by vehicle, but your Honda will engage and disengage the A/C compressor in response to the air temperature, ensuring that it stays cool but not frigid.

This is the core of your Preludes A/C system. When the clutch kicks it into gear, the compressor condenses a coolant gas or liquid, which causes it to rapidly drop in temperature. When circulated, this coolant absorbs heat from ventilation in the exchanger, blowing cold air into the cabin as a result.

Ensuring that your A/C compressor clutch is in good shape will help add years to the life span of your Honda Prelude as a whole. When the clutch is functional, it not only allows the A/C to run at a healthy output, but it also permits it to shut off on an interval that preserves fuel and keeps unnecessary pressure off your engine flywheel. In addition, the various mechanical parts inside your ventilation system — pulley, bearing, evaporator coil, and so on — will be used less, improving their longevity as well.

The coolant used in your Honda Prelude is very safe for both occupants and the environment. Even if theres a leak in one of the lines, the gas (or liquid, in some cases) has been rated for its harmlessness to pedestrians and the ozone layer, meaning there are no worries in running your A/C.
