Car Air Conditioning
Most people enjoy car air conditioning; we know when it isn't working correctly.
Efficient car air conditioning is all about regular maintenance.
So why do they need servicing?
When an air conditioning system is operating, corrosive acids are produced that affect the components.
The receiver dryer is part of the system and is designed to collect these acids and moisture.
It's a bit like a filter capable of removing moisture from the atmosphere.
As the build-up of contaminants in the receiver dryer increases, its ability to do its job decreases. Eventually, the corrosive acids in the air conditioning system damage other parts.
Because this corrosion occurs on the internal surfaces of these parts, it is impossible to accurately determine which parts of the system will fail next.
How often should it be serviced?
It is recommended that the system be serviced every two years, or uncontrolled corrosion can occur and damage the condenser, compressor, evaporator, and other parts of the system.
HANDY TIP: Turn your vehicle's air conditioner on for a few minutes every week, even in winter. This will lubricate the compressor seals and prolong their operational life.
