Air - Con
To be effective, your vehicles air conditioner must control four conditions within the vehicles interior:
• It must cool the air
• It must circulate the air
• It must purify the air
• It must dehumidify the air
These functions are essential if driver/passenger comfort is to be maintained when the ambient temperature and humidity are high.
By performing these functions, the air conditioner maintains the body comfort of the passengers.
Here's something to think about !
When a car is driven or parked in the sun, heat enters the vehicle from many sources.
All of these and other miscellaneous heat sources increase the air temperature within the vehicle.
In a high ambient temperature situation, (e.g. on a 37 °C day), the interior of a vehicle left standing in the sun with windows closed could reach 65 - 70°C!
Just think how your Air Con is working to keep you comfy, and how hard it has to work when it's not maintained correctly.
Is your Air Con emitting unpleasant odours within your vehicle ?
Under certain conditions, moulds and bacteria (normally present in the air) may form on the surface of the evaporator core, causing an unpleasant odour inside the vehicle.
If your vehicle is experiencing this, an antibacterial product can be used to treat the evaporator.
Here's a little Tip !
Turn off your Air Con system a few minutes before shutting off the vehicle and leave your blower fan running (this will dry the evaporator core from the moisture that encourages bacteria growth).
Don't forget your Air Con System isn't just for the Summer season !
In the colder months, a well maintained system will clear your windows and stop them from misting up.
