Is it a problem if water leaks under the car when parked?
1 Answers
After parking, the phenomenon of water dripping under the car is caused by the temperature difference before and after the air conditioning system cools down, leading to system drainage. There is no impact from such an issue, so beginners don't need to worry when encountering it. This is a very normal phenomenon. As long as it's not oil leakage, it's a normal operational issue. The reasons and handling methods for air conditioning system drainage are as follows: 1. Due to high interior temperature: The cooling system needs to be activated to lower the interior temperature. At this time, the moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins, which are very cold. The water droplets are collected by the plastic casing of the evaporator and discharged out of the car through pipes. 2. After turning on the air conditioning: The compressor installed in the engine compartment will also condense moisture from the air, causing water to drip onto the ground. 3. If the low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning are not wrapped with insulating foam: The surface of the pipes can easily condense moisture from the air, and water droplets will also condense and gather at the lowest point of the pipes, dripping down.
