What Causes Car Air Conditioning to Leak Water?
1 Answers
Whether it is normal for a car's air conditioning to leak water depends on the situation. It is normal for water to leak from external parts of the car, such as the exhaust pipe, when the air conditioning is on. This is condensation water from the air conditioning and does not harm the car or the air conditioning system. However, if water leaks inside the car, such as under the passenger seat, it is abnormal and should be repaired at an auto repair shop. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the vehicle. Its purpose is to provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and enhance driving safety. Reasons for water leakage when the car air conditioning is on: Refrigerant flows into the evaporator inside the car, where it absorbs heat from the air through contact with the evaporator. It is then compressed and expanded again in a cyclic process, gradually removing heat from the air inside the car. Since the air contains a lot of water vapor, when it encounters the very cold evaporator, it condenses into water, which then drains out from under the car's chassis. Solutions for car air conditioning water leakage: After turning off the air conditioning, open the windows for ventilation. If the leakage is abnormal, promptly visit a specialized repair shop or a 4S store for repairs to avoid affecting normal driving.
