How Does the A/C System Keep You Cool?

You may be wondering how a vehicle’s A/C system works and why it needs maintenance. Like other systems in a vehicle, the A/C system consists of multiple parts that need to be in good condition to work together and get the job done. More specifically, the parts in the A/C system provide cool air to the cabin of the vehicle and remove moisture. Refrigerant is responsible for creating the cool air that the A/C provides. This refrigerant is pumped through the system by the compressor and turns into a gas state. Then, it travels through the evaporator which captures heat. Finally, the refrigerant goes to the condenser where it cools and returns to a liquid state.
Many problems with a vehicle’s air conditioning can be traced back to a leak in the system which causes the refrigerant to run out. If this happens, your A/C won’t be able to provide cool air. If the refrigerant becomes contaminated, it could also cause a problem with the A/C. The quality and quantity of the A/C’s refrigerant can be checked by a service technician when you come in for A/C service.

What to Expect During an A/C Inspection

One of the first things that a technician will do during an A/C inspection assesses the system visually. Some of the accessible parts of the system, such as the serpentine belt and the compressor’s drive belt, can be inspected with the naked eye. If there are no obvious issues, the next step in diagnosing a problem would be to remove the refrigerant and perform a vacuum test. This test will show any leaks in the system that may cause the refrigerant to run out. If there are no leaks, they’ll add new refrigerant and check to make sure the system is performing at its best.
