Electric AC Compressor in Dixie

No seals? Really?

Is that like "the Prius is superior because it has a catalytic converter, which means it doesn't produce carbon monoxide"?

No shafts, no seals, no electric clutches. See Ebay item:

My wife's Prius compressor looks like this Ebay item: 140444294007

Toyota has been putting in electric AC compressors for both the NHW20,

Hey, look everyone--techno-ignorant Bob strikes again, then again pointedly ignores the actual questions when he's called out on his ignorance.

Tell us again how the Prius A/C compressor has no seals. We LOVE a good sea story.

The more you talk, the more your complete and utter ignorance shows.

As is is obvious in the photos, no shaft, no pulley, no electric clutch, and no seals. The Prius electric compressor is another superior aspect over what we find in gassers and diesels. Here is another photo taken at the Detroit Auto Show in January, 2009:

The electric water pump is also a completely sealed unit so there is no path for coolant to leak out. Best of all, it uses less power than a traditional engine water pump. Less energy wasted pumping coolant is more that is available to drive the Prius.

Now there are after-market, electric water pumps for gassers and diesels but no one has identified a make and model that comes with an electric water pump.

And the bicker fest just keeps on keeping on I see....

He meant no double lip or other type mechanical shaft seal, I hope, of course it still has the gaskets and O-rings which are... gasp... seals.

Wait a minute--are you saying that Bob would TWIST THE FACTS and say things that aren't true, to try to make people think the world isn't what the world actually is?

Within one week's time, we hear Bob tell us:

• "the Prius is superior because it has a catalytic converter, which means it doesn't produce carbon monoxide"
• "the Prius is superior because its air conditioning compressor has no seals"

One has to imagine this is how Bob goes through his life, spouting things are simply aren't true--we call that "lying"--in order to convince people that things are different than they actually are. For some reason, that pleases Bob.

It sounds like Bob needs to lie to the world in order to feel good about his automotive purchases. That he needs the world to validate his automotive purchases, is his problem. That he out and out lies, is important for the world to know.

no, you were quite clear: "it has no seals". That's pretty definite for a man who spends his life measuring the performance of his Prius driving down his neighborhood street.

You also said "it doesn't produce CO", which is another definitive statement.

You have a habit of making clearly definitive statements out of ignorance, but then when called on them you backtrack with "well, you know what I meant". No, Bob, we don't know what you meant. You made clear and definitive statements, and you showed your ignorance.

And your backtracking reveals even more about who you are--or rather, aren't.

you seem to be saying, quite clearly and definitively, that the A/C coolant mixes with the engine coolant.

"There isn't a separate set of condensor coils" means exactly what, Bob?

So the Prius A/C compressor has no seals? At all.

Riiiiiight.

You keep calling non-Prius cars "gassers". What does that mean, exactly?

You DO realize, don't you, that the Prius uses gasoline as its sole source of energy?

The Prius is a "gasser" every bit as much as any other "gasser" you try to call names on.

One of the interesting aspects is how few Prius air conditioner failures occurred after the electric compressor was introduced in

Sorry Elmo, I have no interest in your fantasies. Perhaps you might have more luck at one of the alt.sex sites.

Bob Wilson

Look Elmo, I don't know anyone who cares about your sexual fantasies. Just head over to the alt. groups where you'll receive the attention you deserve.

Bob Wilson

No Elmo, you are not attractive to anyone. Serious, head over to the Alt. sex sites.

???

No answer to that one, Bob?

Ah, your answer is that you fantasize about sexual relations with other men.
