How Car AC Functions? 

The car air condition operates on a belt that allows the compressor to compress the refrigerant and pump air. It occurs through a valve that lowers the temperature and pressure, moves via the evaporator through the passenger compartment. Consequently, it delivers refreshingly cold air.

 

Common Car Air Condition Problems And Their Solution 

 

  1. AC blows out hot air

This happens because the car starts to leak the refrigerant. Although they are difficult to pinpoint, the repair services can find the accurate source of the problem.

Solution: The AC operates on a chemical substance known as the refrigerant. It starts to leak when the dissimilar metal parts contact at a few places. They expand due to the heat and the oil leaks or seep inside. Hence, it is necessary to get it checked with a repair service. This oil prevents leaks by effectively sealing the compressor vanes, lubricates the shaft etc. Purchase the proper oil type to avoid future troubles.

 

  1. Musty smell comes out of the AC

Often microorganisms like bacteria and fungi start to grow inside the car air conditioner. This is when it starts emanating a musty and foul smell. If such is the case, immediately consult expert car repair services.

Solution: The evaporators of the car’s AC system is situated under the dashboard. Over time, they become prone to erosions, start accumulating sediments and dirt. This cold, damp and dark area is also ideal for mildew and fungi growth. The car experts drain the excess condensed moisture. Further, they suggest turning off the compressor a few minutes before stopping the car. It helps the evaporator to dry out. They also use evaporator cleaners for maximum effect.

 

  1. Low flow of AC air

This is a common recurring problem in every car’s AC system. It directly implies that the vents and air filters are weak from clogging. The cooling fans can also become faulty.
