Automotive Air Conditioning

Automotive air conditioning is a system of components designed to cool and dehumidify the air inside a vehicle's cabin. The system works by compressing and expanding refrigerant gas, which absorbs heat from the air and transfers it outside of the vehicle. The main components of an automotive air conditioning system include an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and refrigerant. The evaporator is located inside the vehicle's cabin and is responsible for cooling and dehumidifying the air. The compressor, located in the engine compartment, pressurizes and pumps the refrigerant gas to the condenser, which is usually located in front of the vehicle's radiator. The condenser then cools and condenses the refrigerant gas back into a liquid, releasing the absorbed heat into the outside air. As the cooled and dehumidified air passes over the evaporator, it is distributed throughout the vehicle's cabin through the air vents. The air conditioning system can be adjusted to control th...
