Modern cars cannot be imagined without a climate control system. But for some reason, most motorists believe that they can save money on car air conditioning maintenance, which is fundamentally wrong. An air conditioner is a rather delicate piece of equipment, and its lifespan is directly related to regular maintenance, which is the topic of our conversation.
The principle of operation of car climate control is simple. The driver sets the desired temperature and turns on the system. Sensors monitor the current temperature in the cabin, and if it reaches a value specified by the user, the system turns off. As soon as the temperature again deviates from the set value upward or downward, the sensors send a command to start climate control.
Operation for a modern car air conditioner is necessary even in winter. It can heat the interior, creating not only a comfortable temperature, but also drying the air, thereby eliminating fogging of the windows. Climate systems have a closed-loop filtration function, which is relevant in case of unfavorable external conditions in the area (burning smell, smoke, exhaust, etc.). This way, cabin air can be reused after being cleaned by filters.
Car climate systems are standardized in their functionality and control method. There is a regulator to set the temperature; the “Auto” mode means automatic adjustment.
There is a rule according to which the climate control system should be started no earlier than a minute after starting the car electric motor, and it should be turned off 1 - 2 minutes before the electric motor stops. In order for the climate system to last as long as possible, periodic cleaning of the radiator-condenser is necessary. Dust, dirt, and plant fluff packed into it impede heat transfer, leading to overheating and equipment failure.
Thus, servicing car air conditioners comes down to cleaning the radiator with compressed air or water pressure, as well as refilling freon. When the amount of the latter in the circuit decreases, lubrication of the internal surfaces deteriorates and the compressor jams, as well as the damping pulley breaks.
The main reasons for the failure of car air conditioners are:
The air conditioner in electric vehicles plays a much more important role than the same device in cars with internal combustion engines. In the latter case, if the air conditioner fails, the cabin will become hot (or cold in winter), but the car will continue on its way. In electric cars, the air conditioner also serves to cool the battery, power electronics and electric motor, which overheat when the climate control fails and seriously reduce their efficiency.
To service air conditioners in electric cars, you will need different equipment than what a car service center has for cars with internal combustion engines. Therefore, all owners of cars with electric motors should pay attention to the offers of our service station, which repairs and maintains the climate systems of electric vehicles.
