How Often Should Car Refrigerant Be Replaced?
1 Answers
There is no fixed time for replacing air conditioning refrigerant. When the cooling effect of most car air conditioners deteriorates, you can check whether the refrigerant is insufficient and replace it. Here is more information about car air conditioning: 1. In 70% of cases, the car air conditioner not cooling properly is caused by a dirty condenser with too much dust, leading to poor heat dissipation. The condenser is usually located at the front of the engine compartment. It relies on the incoming wind while driving to cool the refrigerant in the pipes, making it one of the key components for heat dissipation in the car air conditioning system. Due to its position, it can easily become covered with oil, dirt, or other debris over time, reducing its heat dissipation performance and affecting the air conditioning's cooling efficiency. Therefore, it is best to develop a habit of regularly cleaning the condenser. 2. The working environment of car air conditioning is very harsh, so refrigerant leakage is not uncommon. Since a car is a moving space, it is subject to road bumps, and over time, most components will age to varying degrees. The sealing performance of the refrigerant storage container may deteriorate, leading to refrigerant leakage. A reduction in refrigerant will directly result in poorer cooling performance.
