In the current reality, a significant proportion of Russians will go on holiday in their car. And with the onset of summer vacation, the number of car tourists
It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the fact that a modern car “apartment” requires care and timely maintenance. Meanwhile, according to experts at service centers that repair refrigeration equipment, most of the problems with it arise from the fault of the car owners themselves.
The reasons are trivially simple – ignoring the requirements of technical regulations. By summarizing a lot of data on these issues, the experts clearly identified some signature “emergency” situations that can suddenly arise with the climate unit. What should you pay attention to to avoid unexpected failures in the air conditioning system?
One of the most common causes of sudden air conditioning problems is the old refrigerant, or rather lack of it in the system. Especially in recent years, the problems have worsened, accompanied by well-known events in our country and abroad, which triggered a serious growth in the used car market. When purchased, the new owners will drive with the old coolant until the “coolness” stops blowing. Few people interfere with the planned replacement of this important technical fluid. Meanwhile, Freon in cars leaks out of the system on average about 8% per year. And there is nothing to do – these are the features of the physical properties of the coolant.
It is not for nothing that experts in “refrigerators” recommend regularly checking the level of refueling of air conditioning. After all, the coolant can “disappear” for various reasons, for example, due to depressurization of hoses and pipes, as well as due to a violation of the integrity of the compressor or radiator. And often the sealing gaskets suffer at the junctions of the system elements. Typical signs of such defects are the presence of oil streaks and fogging of the parts. If you find them, don’t delay a visit to the service!
However, the loss of refrigerant is far from the most critical problem that can arise along the way. The problem mentioned above is not that dramatic because if it is detected, the situation can be corrected soon enough. It won’t be difficult to find a Freon replacement service along the way, and the procedure itself is only a matter of price.
The situation is much worse if the air conditioning compressor gets stuck on the way. As practice shows, the “wedge” of such a pump is a fairly common cause of a malfunction in the climate system.
As a rule, this happens due to contamination of this type of supercharger. In particular, the compressor of the “air conditioning” often wedges because of dirt that gets into the drive. Here, dust, oil condensate in the engine compartment and road reagents that accumulate there after the car has been wintered play a negative role. And such contamination, unlike refrigerant streaks, cannot be quickly detected by eye: a much more thorough inspection of the air conditioners is necessary, which must be done before a long trip. And it is better to entrust this matter to a specialist.
It is clear that the above two defects of the air conditioner are related to technical problems. But the third – the appearance of an unpleasant smell – is usually due to a violation of the “sanitary” of the interior ventilation system. In addition, the main source of unwanted “ambre” is the evaporator of the air conditioner, the wet surface of which is an ideal place for the reproduction of various bacteria and fungi. If this node is not processed in a timely manner, then after 2-3 years of use of the air conditioner it may begin to “smell” very well.
In such cases, there is only one way out – immediately perform deodorizing treatment of the evaporator and air ducts. Here special means of autochemistry will be a good help. By the way, among them are original Russian preparations of a new generation, for example, an antibacterial air conditioner cleaner of the Ruseff brand.
As the developer of this product points out, it was created taking into account the experience of driving cars in different Russian regions. The aerosol has an additional device in the form of a long plastic probe equipped with a thin tip (see photo above). This design of the spray element allows you to move it to remote places from the air ducts, as well as the evaporator box, and carefully process it there.
During the cleaning procedure, the tip of the probe forms a cloud of finely divided active suspension, which effectively destroys all known fungi and bacteria that accumulate on the evaporator over time. The drug itself, while affecting the pollution, washes them away and, along with the same flush, is discharged by gravity through the air conditioner drain. As a result, an unpleasant odor is quickly removed from the machine and a protective antibacterial layer is formed on the heat exchanger, which prevents the re-emergence of microorganisms.
