Here are five reasons why car air conditioning may freeze: 1. Adjustment issue: The expansion valve is set too low, resulting in excessively low low-pressure. 2. Lack of refrigerant: Insufficient refrigerant in the system causes low evaporation pressure. 3. Internal circulation: The internal circulation filter is clogged. 4. Temperature control failure: The temperature control (or temperature sensor) malfunctions, preventing the compressor from shutting off. 5. Control valve failure: The energy control valve (pressure regulating valve) of the variable displacement compressor fails, causing the compressor to operate at full capacity continuously, leading to excessively low low-pressure and frost formation on the evaporator. Of course, the level of low-pressure is also influenced by ambient temperature and cabin temperature.

How to use Volkswagen's clean-air?

The usage method of Volkswagen's clean-air is: The clean-air in the car is an air purification function. When the owner turns on the internal or external circulation, the clean-air function will automatically activate. Its purpose is to filter harmful gases and ensure clean air inside the car. The details on how Clean-air achieves air purification are as follows: 1. Air conditioning filter with activated carbon. An additional activated carbon layer can adsorb more harmful substances on the filter. Of course, the price of this air conditioning filter is several times higher than that of a regular one. 2. Negative ion air purification. High-voltage circuits generate plasma, which destroys the protein membrane on the surface of bacteria, causing them to lose vitality and die, thereby eliminating bacteria in the air.
