How a Vehicle AC System Works

Car AC systems function much like your standard refrigerator. It performs a cycle of compression and expansion of refrigerant to cause evaporation. The evaporation is what provides cooling as your vents disperse the air throughout your vehicle. Over time like a refrigerator, home AC unit, etc, eventually maintenance or repairs will be needed to extend the lifespan of the unit. Below are the individual parts that work together to provide cool air in your car’s cabin. 
  • Condensor
  • Compressor
  • Evaporator
  • Refrigerant
  • Blower
  • Receiver or Dryer
  • Thermostatic expansion valve
