How Your Vehicle Air Conditioner Works
by Jamie Ruf
We are in the business of helping people all around the Brisbane area with their vehicle air conditioners. As such, it is common to come across people who wonder about the mystery behind how their air conditioner actually works. Wondering how the vehicle air conditioner works is a legitimate curiosity, and worth knowing more about!
Most people simply jump into their car and turn the air conditioner on, not giving it much thought as to how that cold air comes out of the vents and cools the vehicle down. But there are plenty of us who need a little more behind-the-scenes information than that. For those people who are curious, here are the basics of how your car’s air conditioner works:
- Your vehicle has evaporator coils. The heat in your vehicle is blown across them through the convection process.
- Through conduction, the refrigerant in your air conditioning system will then absorb the heat.
- The heat is moved by the refrigerant into the condenser, where it is then absorbed into the part of the system called condenser fins.
- Then through the process of radiation the heat is transferred back into the atmosphere.
- You feel the cool air and the vehicle temperature drops to become more comfortable.
It may seem like a complicated process by which the warm air is taken into the system and then turned into cool air that you will feel, but it’s one that happens quickly and one that we have come to rely upon on a warm day. When it doesn’t work right, there is usually a breakdown or problem with one of these main areas, which can usually be repaired and get you back to being cool in no time.
