What is the purpose of cleaning a car's air conditioning system?

[NoraFitz]

Cleaning a car's air conditioning system serves the following purposes: 1. Enhances cooling efficiency—after cleaning, the air conditioning system is free of dust and dirt, allowing smooth airflow exchange and significantly improving cooling performance; 2. Promotes health—cleaning reduces the likelihood of air conditioning-related illnesses, purifies indoor air, and eliminates odors produced by the air conditioning system; 3. Extends the lifespan of the air conditioning system—cleaning improves the working environment of the system; 4. Reduces the failure rate—after cleaning and maintenance, the air conditioning system experiences fewer malfunctions and consumes less electricity. The hazards of not cleaning a car's air conditioning system for a long time include: 1. Accumulation of dust and dirt on the filter plate, radiator, evaporator, and air outlet, leading to airflow blockage; 2. Reduced cooling and heating efficiency, increased electricity and fuel consumption, and noise generation; 3. Shortened lifespan of the air conditioning system; 4. Increased likelihood of unpleasant odors, bacterial growth, and mites, which can harm the health of the car owner.
