What Causes a Car Air Conditioner to Stop Cooling but Work Again After Restarting?
1 Answers
There is an issue with the air conditioner's receiver-drier. The car air conditioning system includes a receiver-drier, whose main function is to absorb moisture from the refrigerant and prevent excessive moisture in the refrigerant from reducing cooling capacity. When the desiccant inside the receiver-drier becomes saturated, it can no longer filter out moisture. Methods for maintaining a car air conditioner: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioner: When using the air conditioner for the first time in summer, inspect the air conditioning system, such as checking the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty through the receiver-drier, and whether there are foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to cleaning the air conditioner: Some beginners only think about cleaning the air conditioner when its performance deteriorates, which is incorrect. The air filter should be replaced regularly because Beijing's spring has a lot of sand and flying willow catkins, which can stick to the filter and breed bacteria, causing a musty smell in the air conditioner. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and the radiator should be removed for thorough cleaning. 3. Do not turn off the air conditioner immediately after parking: After reaching their destination, car owners usually turn off the air conditioner and leave immediately. Unlike in autumn and winter, the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car in hot summer can cause the air conditioning system to become moldy and breed mold.
