Summary
Vehicle air conditioners cool and dehumidify car cabins. Students learn how they work and what parts they have.
Air Conditioner Function
Vehicle air conditioners cool and remove moisture from the air inside a car. The compressor draws heat out of the cabin and sends it outside. The vehicle engine provides the energy to run the air conditioner.
Refrigerant Flow
Refrigerant flows through a closed circuit. It moves from the condenser outside the cabin to the evaporator inside the cabin. The compressor pushes the refrigerant through the system.
Cooling Process
The compressor compresses the refrigerant, which is then cooled and condensed in the condenser. The refrigerant then passes through the receiver drier, which removes moisture. It then flows through the evaporator coils, where a fan blows cool air into the cabin.
