Where Does the Condensate Water from a Car's Air Conditioning System Drain Out?
1 Answers
Automobile air conditioning drain holes are typically located under the front engine hood, at the junction between the windshield and front fender. Below is relevant information about automotive air conditioning systems: Automotive Air Conditioning Overview: A vehicle's air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, blower, and necessary control components, designed to regulate cabin temperature and humidity for driver comfort. Working Principle: When the compressor operates, it draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the refrigerant's temperature and pressure increase before being delivered to the condenser. Within the condenser, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to outside air passing through the condenser, causing liquefaction. The liquid refrigerant then flows through the throttle device where its temperature and pressure decrease before entering the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from cabin air passing through the evaporator and evaporates back into gas. This gaseous refrigerant is then drawn into the compressor to begin the next cycle.
