Where are the common locations for refrigerant leaks in car air conditioning systems?
1 Answers
Refrigerant leaks in car air conditioning systems typically occur at the AC pipeline joints, expansion valves, compressors, evaporators, and other components. Below are the specific causes of refrigerant leaks in car AC systems: 1. Pipeline malfunction: During the installation of indoor-outdoor unit connecting pipes, if the bending angle is too small, it may cause pipe cracks leading to refrigerant leakage or complete loss. When routing these connecting pipes, appropriately increase the bending radius to prevent sharp kinks. Leaking pipes should be promptly repaired by welding or replaced. 2. Leak points in the refrigeration system: Improper secondary installation of replaced refrigeration system components may create leak points in pipelines. Apply diluted soapy water to the entire refrigeration system pipelines and welded joints for leak detection. The testing requires the system to be charged with nitrogen or refrigerant. Pay special attention to oil-stained pipeline areas, systematically identify all leak points, and perform component repairs or replacements based on actual conditions.
