The Basics of Vehicle Air Conditioning:
We’ve all experienced it – a scorching summer day, the sun beating down, and the inside of your car feeling like an oven. It’s during these moments that your vehicle’s air conditioning system becomes your best friend, providing a refreshing escape from the heat. But have you ever wondered how this system works? In this blog post, we’ll take a journey through the inner workings of your car’s air conditioning and explore how Gees Refrigeration ensures you stay cool on the road.
- The Refrigeration Cycle: Much like the air conditioning in your home, your vehicle’s AC operates on a refrigeration cycle. It involves a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator to cool and dehumidify the air.
- The Compressor: The compressor is the heart of the system. It pressurizes and circulates the refrigerant, transforming it from a low-pressure gas to a high-pressure, high-temperature gas.
- The Condenser: This component is usually located in front of the vehicle’s radiator. It releases heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid.
- The Expansion Valve: The high-pressure liquid then moves through the expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature, allowing it to evaporate.
- The Evaporator: As the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat from the air inside the vehicle, cooling it down. The blower fan then circulates this cold air into the cabin.
