What Causes Car Air Conditioning to Leak Water?
1 Answers
Whether it is normal for a car to leak water when the air conditioning is on depends on the situation. It is normal for water to leak from the car's exterior, such as the exhaust pipe, when the air conditioning is running. This is condensation from the air conditioning and will 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 a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. Its purpose is to provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and improve driving safety. Reasons for water leakage when the car air conditioning is on: The 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, repeating this cycle to gradually remove heat from the air inside the car. Since the air contains a lot of water vapor, when it encounters the very cold evaporator, it turns into water and drains out from under the car 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 4S store for repairs to avoid affecting normal driving.
