What Causes the Air Conditioning to Stop Cooling After a Vehicle Has Driven Through Water?
1 Answers
After a vehicle has driven through water, the air conditioning may stop cooling due to water entering the air conditioning pipes. To ensure optimal cooling performance, it is essential to maintain the dryness of the air conditioning pipes. Below is an introduction to the automotive air conditioning system: Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layouts. Currently, most passenger cars use an integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. This system combines components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism into a single unit, known as the air conditioning assembly. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Automotive air conditioning typically includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipes, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The automotive air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipes, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines. The low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipes, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
