How Often Should a Car Air Conditioner Be Maintained?
1 Answers
Car air conditioners are generally maintained every six months. 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and enhances driving safety. 2. Regularly check refrigerant and compressor oil: Since modern automotive refrigerants are highly permeable, even a well-functioning refrigeration system may experience insufficient refrigerant over long-term use, leading to reduced cooling efficiency. Therefore, regular checks and top-ups are necessary. Owners can determine refrigerant insufficiency by observing the sight glass. The sight glass is usually located on the receiver-drier. During normal continuous operation of the air conditioner, there should be no bubbles in the sight glass. When the air conditioner stops, brief bubbles may appear, indicating the refrigerant level is normal.
