Why is the car air conditioning not cooling effectively even when it's running?
1 Answers
If the car air conditioning is not cooling sufficiently, refrigerant (commonly referred to as Freon) can be added. Here are the possible reasons: 1. Poor heat dissipation from the condenser: Due to the condenser's front-facing position, it is prone to getting clogged with springtime poplar and willow catkins, along with PM2.5 dust particles covering its surface, which significantly reduces its heat dissipation efficiency. 2. Dirty air filter: Over time, the cabin air filter can accumulate dirt, develop odors, or even become clogged. When the filter is blocked with dust and debris, it affects the airflow from the air conditioning system. This results in high fan speed settings producing loud noise but delivering minimal actual airflow, thereby reducing the cooling effect significantly.
