Major Car Air Conditioner Parts And Functions

In the automobile air conditioning system, there are many basic car air conditioner parts. The normal operation of these air conditioner parts for cars ensures the proper functioning of the main equipment and plays a pivotal role in the entire air conditioning system. Below is an introduction to these essential air conditioner parts for cars.

 

Car Air Conditioning Compressor

The car air conditioning compressor is a power unit in the car air conditioning system. The air conditioning compressor is usually installed at the front of the engine. Its main function is to compress and distribute the refrigerant to various components of the air conditioning system. Through the action of the clutch, the compressor can convert low-pressure refrigerant into high-pressure and high-temperature gas, thereby ensuring the operation of the air conditioning system.

 

The compressor plays an important role in the air conditioning system. Its main functions are as follows:

1. The air conditioning compressor is responsible for pressurizing the refrigerant to achieve the purpose of cooling the air.

2. The air conditioning compressor can sense the temperature changes inside and outside the car.

3. The air conditioning compressor is also responsible for monitoring and controlling the temperature output inside the car.

4. The compressor delivers the processed air to the condenser to provide comfortable cool air in the car.

 

If the compressor fails. The following three situations will occur:

1. If the compressor does not work, it will not be able to effectively compress the refrigerant.

2. If the compressor fails, it cannot effectively control temperature changes and output.

3. If the compressor does not work, the compressor cannot deliver air to the condenser.

Air Conditioner Condenser

The condenser is mounted behind the grille at the front of the vehicle and resembles a mini radiator. Its main function is to cool the hot refrigerant coming from the compressor. The condenser changes the state of the refrigerant from vapor to liquid.

 

The fan is a key component in the condenser. The fan is responsible for cooling the refrigerant flowing to the evaporator. The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant. The condenser then reduces the temperature and pressure of the hot gas from the refrigerant. The condenser transfers the cooled liquid refrigerant to the dryer. Because a condenser failure can cause the car air conditioner to produce hot air. Keeping the condenser pipes clean helps maintain the efficient operation of the condenser.

Dryer

The dryer is another indispensable part of a car air conditioner, located between the expansion valve and the condenser. Filtering and drying the refrigerant is its primary purpose.

The dryer uses a filter and desiccant to take out moisture and debris from the refrigerant. This protects the expansion valve from clogging and damage, contributing to the efficient functioning of the air conditioner parts for cars.

The liquid cannot enter the compressor and cause harm since the dryer can separate the gas from the liquid. Additionally, the dryer keeps pollutants out of the whole air conditioning system.

 

Thermal Expansion Valve

A thermal expansion valve is a device used to expand high-pressure liquid refrigerant and is widely used in air conditioning systems. Its main function is to reduce the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant through the expansion process.

The thermal expansion valve allows the refrigerant to reach the right state before entering the evaporator. The thermal expansion valve is usually installed on the high-pressure side of the air conditioning system, specifically between the dryer and the firewall.

 

Evaporator

The evaporator is one of the components of the car air conditioning system, usually located behind the dashboard of the cab. Its main function is to convert low-pressure, low-temperature liquid refrigerant into gas, to absorb heat and cool the air. The cooled air is blown into the car through the vents so that passengers can feel the refreshing airflow. If the evaporator is damaged, the airflow of the air conditioner will be weakened and it will not be able to effectively cool the car.
