What causes sudden loss of cooling in car air conditioning?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why car air conditioning may stop cooling: 1. The most common cause is insufficient or low refrigerant level, likely due to minor leaks. 2. Excessive refrigerant can also cause cooling failure. The air conditioning system requires a specific refrigerant volume ratio - too much refrigerant actually reduces heat dissipation efficiency. 3. If the drive belt is loose, the compressor may slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency, slower compressor speed, and decreased refrigerant compression delivery - all resulting in poor cooling performance.
