You must be familiar with what a car air-conditioner is, but you might not know the engineering behind it and how the car AC system works. Similar to many other vehicle systems, a car AC comprises several components that absorb humidity and heat from the passenger&#8217;s cabin and deliver cool air by removing moisture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if your car&#8217;s AC fails to deliver cool air, then there may be a problem with any of its components. We have compiled a comprehensive guide that will help you to understand essential car AC parts, signs of their failure, and how they use refrigerants to provide cool air in your cabin.

The function of a condenser is to cool the high-temperature refrigerant coming from the compressor. It radiates the heat from the pressurised Freon or refrigerant changing its state from vapour to liquid. A condenser comprises the following components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Condenser coil<\/li><li>Compressor<\/li><li>Condenser fan<\/li><li>Motor<\/li><li>Circuit board<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A fan is an essential component in the condenser. It cools the refrigerant which flows to the evaporator. A malfunctioned condenser can be a reason behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-ac-suddenly-blowing-hot-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hot air coming from the car&#8217;s AC<\/a>. Hence, cleaning the clogged pipes of the condenser will help maintain its efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dryer\"><strong>DRYER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another essential part of a car AC system is the dryer located between the condenser and expansion valve (orifice tube). The high pressure and cooled-down refrigerant from the condenser flows through the dryer\u2019s inlet point. After passing through filters and drying agents (desiccants), the liquid moves to the thermal expansion valve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dryer serves as a decent filter removing dirt and debris from the liquid. That said, when the liquid moves into the expansion valve, it doesn\u2019t clog the orifice tube or thermal expansion valve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-thermal-expansion-valve\"><strong>THERMAL EXPANSION VALVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"car AC expansion valve\" class=\"wp-image-62495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/30075535\/Car-AC-parts-Body-03-20220630-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This part of a car AC system expands the refrigerant liquid which lowers the pressure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The thermal expansion valve, also known as the metering device or orifice tube expands the high-pressure liquid.

There are the following three types of AC refrigerants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>HFC-134a or R-134a:<\/strong> Used in car models from the years, 1994 to 2014&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>R-1234yf or HFC-1234yf:<\/strong> Used in vehicle models from 2014 to present<\/li><li><strong>Freon (R-12): <\/strong>Used in vehicles manufactured before 1994<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Automobile industries have adopted these different types of refrigerants over the years. The introduction of new types of refrigerants is mainly due to the rising environmental concerns. Besides, you can check the type of refrigerant your car AC requires from the recharge hose.
