As a preventive maintenance step, make sure to perform regular service on your vehicle’s air conditioning system components including the condenser, compressor, evaporator, and electrical controls.
Watch for any leaks coming from your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Leaking refrigerant can not only harm your car’s engine, but it can be dangerous for the environment as well.
In industrialized countries, people spend at least an hour each day in their vehicles, which may have toxic interiors due to issues with air conditioning systems. Long term exposure can add up to a series of health issues.
While the cause of AC refrigerant loss is simple—a leak—finding it may not be easy. As such a tech may opt to charge the system with a fluorescent dye and use a detector light so he or she can pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from.
Have you heard about the "Black Death"? Well, it is a term used by air conditioning technicians to refer to the damage that results from the breakdown of the refrigerant-lubricant.
Can you answer the question, What does a Drier dry? Well, it’s not the Freon but oil in the refrigerant that absorbs moisture and holds debris in the system.
Driving with the windows up and the air-conditioner running uses less gas than taking the same trip with the windows rolled down because there is less drag.
