What are the causes of refrigerant leakage in automotive compressors?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for refrigerant leakage in automotive compressors: 1. Pipeline sealing: Corrosion of the condenser or evaporator; excessively high compressor temperature melting the pipeline seals at the connection points. 2. Inspection method: Add fluorescent dye along with the refrigerant. After driving the vehicle for a week, use a specialized UV lamp to inspect the air conditioning system. Any leakage points will glow, indicating component damage. If the car's AC compressor operates normally and provides cooling, with the compressor stopping and starting appropriately when reaching temperature, this indicates mild refrigerant shortage. If the car's AC blows hot air and the compressor runs continuously without stopping, this indicates severe refrigerant shortage in the system.
