What is the reason for the car air conditioning system not leaking during pressure testing but leaking during refrigerant charging?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning systems may leak during refrigerant charging due to damage at the refrigerant tube's charging port. Below is relevant information about car air conditioning systems: 1. Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layouts. Currently, the most widely used in passenger cars is the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanisms into a single unit, referred to as the air conditioning assembly. 2. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Generally, car air conditioning systems mainly include components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning systems are divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, suction line, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
