Experts suggest ways to help keep your car's air conditioner cooler on hot days
The hot summer weather causes the car's air conditioning system to work too hard and become inefficient. Understanding this, an auto expert has suggested ways to help the air conditioning work more effectively.
Long hot days can cause your car’s air conditioning system to work at full capacity, easily leading to overload and ineffective cooling. Understanding this problem, automotive expert Graham Conway at Select Car Leasing has suggested some ways to help your car’s air conditioning system work better.
Graham Conway said: "The most important step in increasing the cooling efficiency of car air conditioning is to clean the condenser." The cooling capacity of the car will be through the air conditioning system, in some cases the air conditioner is clogged by dirt, dry leaves, insects, ... will prevent cold air from entering the car cabin, leaking out, reducing cooling efficiency. The important thing and need to be done regularly is to check and clean the air conditioning system, both to help maintain the cooling capacity and to increase the life of the air conditioner.
When the air conditioner is not working as expected, Graham Conway advises users to check the refrigerant level. Basically, refrigerant is very important in helping the air conditioning system work effectively because it replaces hot humid air with cool air, effectively reducing the temperature in the cabin. Users can take the car to a reputable garage to quickly recharge the refrigerant.
In addition, if the air conditioning system emits an unpleasant odor, it may be a sign that the air filter is clogged, making it difficult for the air conditioner to produce cold air. In this case, auto experts recommend taking the car to the nearest garage to check and clean the air filter. Users who are not experienced in cleaning this part can easily cause damage, incurring additional repair costs if not done properly.
Furthermore, the air conditioning temperature sensor is also extremely important. If the temperature sensor is damaged, it will not be able to accurately measure the temperature in the cabin, causing the air conditioning system to not adjust to the appropriate temperature. In this case, users should find a car repair center to check and replace if the sensor is damaged.
