AIR CONDITIONING

The vast majority of cars now have air conditioning or climate control, Air conditioning is great when it works fine; if it goes wrong you will need to get it fixed. We carry both R134a and R1234yf gases, and can also carry out an air conditioning system sanitisation.

Car air conditioning systems work on a fundamental principle of heat transfer and the circulation of refrigerant. A compressor within the system pressurizes a low-pressure, low-temperature gas known as refrigerant. This compressed gas is then pumped through a series of coils and tubes to the condenser located at the front of the vehicle, where it releases heat and transforms into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas. As this hot gas flows through the condenser coils, it dissipates the heat it absorbed from the car’s interior. Afterward, the refrigerant is sent to an expansion valve or orifice tube, where it rapidly expands, causing a drop in pressure and temperature. This cold, low-pressure refrigerant is then routed to the evaporator coil, typically located in the dashboard, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air, cooling it down in the process. Finally, a blower fan pushes this cold air into the car’s interior, providing the desired cooling effect. This continuous cycle of compressing, condensing, expanding, and evaporating refrigerant keeps your car’s cabin comfortably cool during hot weather.
