Car owners, who was not in the face of air conditioner repairs, do not know how expensive this procedure can be. Therefore, it is better to serve the air conditioner in time than to repair it later. Below there are the main errors in the operation of the automobile air conditioner.
The first advice:
Not performing the annual system maintenance procedure of conditioning.
For all rubber hoses, there is an allowance for Freon leakage up to 10%. For example, if the amount of Freon in the system is 500g, then annually the loss of Freon in the car air conditioner can reach 50g. If the air conditioning system does not fill up for 4 years, the cooling agent there may remain about 300g. This can lead to the breakage as the system will operate under heavy load, cooling efficiency will go down and less lubrication will circulate in the system.
Second advice:
The maintenance checkup of air conditioning in the winter.
When the air conditioner is operating, all the insides of the air conditioning system are lubrified.
The maintenance checkup prevents drying of hoses, rubber surrounds, etc. This allows you to keep the system integrity, lubrify all internal parts and prevent corrosion. It is worth noting that the maintenance checkup should be done only in a warm indoor space, as it will not work in freezing temperatures outside.
Some car washes centers, covered parking, service stations can be used as a warm indoor space.
The maintenance checkup is advisable to make every 2 weeks for 15 minutes, it is enough.
Third advice:
The maintenance of air conditioners as well "where is cheaper".
Inappropriate handling of air conditioners can lead to the rapid compressor breakage. Specialized service stations, such as Master Service, have special equipment, including gas stations and gas analyzers for determining the composition of Freon. This is important, because when filling low-quality Freon, it may contain different type fouling, the lubrication of the system will dramatically decrease and the compressor will quickly damage.
Freon R134a is used with oil that dissolves and circulates through the system. If there is small amount of Freon in the system, then the lubricant amount will be also small. This is very dangerous for the internal components of the air conditioning compressor. Therefore, maintenance should be done in specialized service stations, which are professionally engaged in maintenance and repair of air conditioning systems.
Fourth advice:
Riding with open windows or a sunroof while the air conditioner is working.
We know that the air temperature in the car sets the load on the air conditioning system. When driving with open windows or a sunroof in hot weather, a lot of warm air enters the cabin. Because of this, the cooling system will always works with maximum load, it subsequently reduces the air conditioner life.
Fifth advice:
Cabin airing after outdoor parking in the sunny weather.
After a long stay in the sun, the temperature in the car can reach a temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius. If all the work for cabin cooling entrusted to the air conditioning system, the air conditioner compressor will work in an overloaded mode, and it will significantly reduce its life. It is also worth noting that abrupt change of the temperature can affect your health. Therefore, it is recommended cabin airing after a long stay in the sun.
Sixth advice:
Washing.
Frequent car radiators washing by using active foam in some cases can lead to accelerated corrosion and the radiator tightness loss. Therefore, give attention for radiator washing at the beginning and at the end of the season, especially in spring and autumn.
