What refrigerant is used in car air conditioning?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning uses R134a refrigerant, which is a relatively environmentally friendly refrigerant. Air conditioning works by utilizing the transformation of refrigerant between different states to achieve cooling. When the car air conditioning is in cooling mode, the engine drives the compressor to operate. At this time, the compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. Heating in the air conditioning system does not require refrigerant, nor does it need the compressor or evaporator. There is a component in the air conditioning system called the heater core, which is a heat exchanger. During heating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core, and the air blown by the blower also passes through the core, allowing the air conditioning to blow warm air.
