How Often Should the Condenser Be Cleaned?

[DelRowan]

It is generally recommended to clean the car condenser every 2 years. Here are the relevant details:1. Function of the condenser: The high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant from the compressor becomes medium-temperature, medium-pressure refrigerant after passing through the condenser, which is then fed into the next-stage liquid storage tank or dryer. The process through the condenser is an effective cooling process. If the condenser fails, it may cause an imbalance in the pipeline pressure and lead to air conditioning malfunctions.2. Precautions: When cleaning the condenser, avoid using high-pressure water guns to prevent damage to the cooling fins or causing short circuits or failures in the electrical circuits. Also, remember to clean the gaps between the condenser and the radiator to avoid blockages. When cleaning the evaporator, it is best to use a specialized cleaner, spraying it from the air intake to allow the fine foam to penetrate deep into the air conditioning box and adhere to the surface of the evaporator for an extended period. This way, dirt can be thoroughly removed without the need for disassembly.
