What is Air Conditioning Refrigerant?
1 Answers
Air conditioning refrigerant is the working medium in the refrigeration cycle, which transfers heat through phase changes of the refrigerant. Here are specific details about vehicle air conditioning refrigerant: 1. The refrigerant used in vehicle air conditioning is R134a, which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant. The refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning is used for cooling, achieved through the transformation of the refrigerant between different states. 2. When the vehicle air conditioning is cooling, the engine drives the compressor to operate. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. After reaching the evaporator, the refrigerant expands in volume, absorbing heat and cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower, allowing the air conditioning vents to blow cold air. 3. The front of the vehicle is equipped with a condenser, which dissipates heat for the refrigerant.
