When using the car's air conditioning, the AC should be turned on. The car's AC activates the air conditioning compressor. Pressing the AC button starts the compressor, which cools the hot and stuffy summer air, allowing cool air to be blown into the car. The car's air conditioning refrigeration system consists of components such as the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. Below are some tips for maintaining your car's air conditioning: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioning system. When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, inspect the system thoroughly. Check the refrigerant level through the liquid storage tank, see if the air filter is too dirty, and ensure there are no foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to cleaning the air conditioning. Regularly replace the air conditioning filter, as spring brings a lot of dust and willow catkins, which can accumulate on the filter and promote bacterial growth, leading to a musty smell in the air conditioning. Additionally, clean the condenser periodically, and for a thorough cleaning, remove the radiator. 3. Regularly run the air conditioning at high fan speed. The air conditioning system can accumulate a lot of dust during use. Running it at high speed periodically helps blow out loose dust from the air ducts, which is a simple way to keep the system clean. Also, use specialized duct cleaning solutions for disinfection, cleaning, and odor removal.
