What Causes Car Air Conditioning Leakage?
1 Answers
The reason for air conditioning water dripping is the system drainage phenomenon caused by the significant temperature difference before and after the air conditioning cools. Due to the high temperature inside the car, when the cooling system is activated to lower the interior temperature, the moisture in the hot air inside the car condenses on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins, which are at a very low temperature. The water droplets are then collected by the evaporator's plastic casing and discharged outside the car. Reasons for water dripping under the car: Water dripping under the car may be due to a lack of antifreeze in the radiator. If this is the case, the cooling system should be checked as soon as possible. Since the muffler is located at the rear of the car where the temperature is relatively low, water vapor will condense into liquid water when it encounters cold. Some of this liquid water is discharged through the exhaust pipe, while another part is discharged through the drainage hole, resulting in the phenomenon of muffler dripping. Reasons for water dripping from the car body: Water leakage from the car body may be due to water dripping from the exhaust pipe. This is because gasoline contains hydrogen elements, which react with oxygen in the high-temperature environment of the cylinder to produce water. However, this water is in the form of water vapor. When the water vapor flows out through the exhaust pipe and encounters cold, it liquefies. Therefore, this is a normal phenomenon. The presence of water drainage from the car's exhaust pipe indicates that the engine is in good working condition, the air-fuel mixture is burning completely, and the efficiency is high.
