The manufacturer may occasionally need some kind of upkeep. A comprehensive check will be performed at The Tire Shoppe & Auto Mechanic Repair so that you may drive a stylish car. Visit The Tire Shoppe & Auto Mechanic Repair right now if you have any inquiries about your air conditioner.

What Is Your Vehicle's A/C System Made Of?

Your vehicle’s A/C (Air Conditioning) system consists of several key components that work together to keep you cool. These include:

  • A/C Compressor
  • A/C Condenser
  • A/C Evaporator
  • A/C Thermal Expansion Valve
  • A/C Dryer or Accumulator

Each of these parts plays a crucial role in maintaining your A/C system’s performance. The Tire Shoppe & Auto Mechanic in Waterford, MI, will guide you in the right direction to ensure your vehicle stays cool on hot days.

Understanding Each Component

  • Compressor: The A/C compressor is the heart of the system, compressing refrigerant to absorb heat and cool the air. It operates via a belt and an electrical clutch that turns it on and off based on your desired temperature.

  • Condenser: Located at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, the condenser works like a small radiator itself. It cools the hot refrigerant gas, causing it to condense back into a liquid.

  • Evaporator: The evaporator does the opposite of the condenser. As cold liquid refrigerant passes through its tubes, air is forced through, cooling it before it enters the vehicle’s cabin. The refrigerant then warms up, turning back into a gas to continue the cycle.

  • Thermal Expansion Valve: This valve regulates the flow of cold refrigerant to the evaporator, allowing you to control how cold the air gets inside your vehicle.

  • Dryer or Accumulator: Acting as a safety net, the dryer (or receiver) prevents liquid refrigerant from reaching the compressor, which could cause damage. It also filters out contaminants to keep the system running efficiently.

The Tire Shoppe & Auto Mechanic in Waterford, MI, ensures your A/C system functions properly so you can drive comfortably in warm weather.
