What Causes the Ticking Sound in Car Air Conditioning Every Few Seconds?
1 Answers
Abnormal noises in car air conditioning are generally caused by internal or external issues within the air conditioning system. Internal noises often occur due to air or moisture in the refrigerant, which creates sounds during evaporation and expansion, typically perceived as coming from inside the dashboard. External noises are usually related to the air conditioning compressor, with the sound noticeable near the compressor. Below are other possible causes of abnormal noises in car air conditioning: 1. The noise is often caused by air or moisture mixed in the refrigerant. 2. If the noise persists after refrigerant recharge and is located near the compressor, there is a high probability of internal mechanical damage to the compressor. If the noise recurs after some time and originates from inside the dashboard, the desiccant bottle may have reduced efficiency. 3. The noise heard after starting the air conditioning is primarily the operational sound of the compressor and is not considered a malfunction.
