Why Does the Air Conditioner Smell Like Gasoline?
1 Answers
The reasons for the gasoline smell when the air conditioner is on: The car's air filter may have absorbed gasoline, or it could be due to being too close to the vehicle in front with the external circulation turned on. Relevant information about the car air conditioner is as follows: 1. The car air conditioner is a comfort feature: It can provide both cooling and heating, and is essential for use during winter and summer. 2. Cooling function of the car air conditioner: The compressor clutch engages, allowing the engine to drive the compressor. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. The refrigerant expands and absorbs heat in the evaporator, cooling it. The cooled evaporator then cools the air from the blower, allowing the air conditioner vents to blow cold air. 3. The refrigerant used in car air conditioners is R134a, which needs to be replenished periodically: If not refilled for a long time, the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner may decrease, and the cooling speed may slow down. 4. Heating function of the car air conditioner: High-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core, and the blower's air passes over the heater core, allowing the air conditioner vents to blow warm air.
