The air conditioning unit in your import vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle’s air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it. At Front Royal, VA, our team of experts makes sure your car is getting the best service possible.
Your vehicle’s air conditioning unit has six major components:
When you start your vehicle’s air conditioning system, the compressor works by putting the refrigerant under pressure, sending it to the condensing coils, which are generally in front of your vehicle’s radiator.
The condenser expels hot air outside the car, cooling the air within the vehicle. During this process, the refrigerant is cooled and changes from a gas to a liquid. It then passes through the expansion valve to the evaporator.
As the liquid-state refrigerant enters the evaporator, it loses pressure and further cools down. The vehicle’s blower moves air across the evaporator and into the vehicle’s interior. If your vehicle’s air conditioning unit remains turned on, the refrigerant continues through this cycle continuously, maintaining cool air inside the vehicle.
If any of these components is damaged, it can turn your cool car into a furnace during the summer months. Your vehicle’s air conditioning issue could be as simple as topping off refrigerant to replacing a valve. When your air conditioning unit is not working as it should, bring your vehicle to Skyline Service Center. One of our trained air conditioning specialists will inspect your car’s air conditioner, all lines, the evaporator and the compressor for leaks and wear.
