We're already a fair way into summer with the dreadful month of May just around the corner. Of course, air-conditioning comes into sharp focus during these scorching times and none more so than the units in our cars, given that temperatures inside the cabin can shoot up to as high as 60 degrees Centigrade on some of the hotter days. To help the car’s air-con unit deal with high cabin temperatures, it is vital to get your car's AC unit serviced. What you should be aware of is that ‘ Car Ac Servicing ’ is a broad and general term, and the system itself is quite complex with a lot of parts working together. These parts are the evaporator, blower, expansion valve, compressor, drier and condenser. With so many parts, most car owners aren’t able to decipher what the actual trouble is when they sense that there is insufficient cooling. To make things easier, we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions. This will give you the sufficient know-how to question the mechanic a...

A vehicle without AC can be a sweaty and uncomfortable ride. A properly working AC keeps you and everyone else in the vehicle comfortable and cool all the way to your destination. Therefore one should always keep a check on Car Air Conditioning Service and other service checkups. How car A/C works A car’s A/C depends on the thermodynamic properties appended these operating within a closed loop below the correct pressure. 1. The thermodynamic properties of refrigerant gases under pressurization is complicated process, but in a nutshell, when refrigerant in its cool liquid form is exposed to warm air, it evaporates into a gas and absorbs or removes heat from the surrounding environment. This occurs in an A/C component in the car known as the evaporator. It’s important to note here that an A/C system doesn’t technically produce cool air, it removes heat from the air via the evaporator, then relies on the car’s blower and air ducts to blow cool air out into the cabin. 2. Now th...
