Air Condition
Systems
Checked your
cars air conditioning system lately?
Not as important during colder months however come summer, your air-conditioning
system will be needed.
Having a well
maintained air-conditioning system is a must for proper ventilation
and for your comfort inside your car. When taking care of your car's
air conditioning system, it is important to know its component parts.
Among these are the condenser, compressors and drier/accumulator. All
of these play an important role in the cooling of your car.
The process of cooling
your car happens in a closed loop. It starts with the compressor. The
compressor takes in low-pressure refrigerant gas, usually Freon gas,
from the air-conditioning system's inlet side, which is composed of
a evaporator and accumulator or drier. The receiver drier takes all
the water and other contaminants out of the air-conditioning system.
In the compressor, gas is compressed and converted into a high pressure
and high temperature gas.
The hot refrigerant
is then passed into the condenser, which is a major part of the air-conditioning
system's low pressure side, where the refrigerant is again cooled and
is passed back to the drier, forming a closed loop. In order to keep
your air-conditioning to be in tip-top shape, it is important to always
to keep the system properly maintained.
Always have your
air-conditioning system inspected by your local AC specialist. If any
part is damaged, it has to be immediately repaired. If it needs to be
replaced, there are a lot of sources to get from.
