The air conditioning unit in your vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle’s air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it and has six major components:
- refrigerant (Freon)
- compressor
- condenser
- expansion valve or orifice tube
- evaporator
- dryer or accumulator
If any of these components are damaged, it can turn your cool car into a furnace during the summer months. We strongly recommend NEVER TO USE a do it yourself a/c charge kit to try to recharge your air conditioning system yourself.
