4. The car air conditioning (AC) system is a vital component of modern
vehicles that is designed to regulate the temperature and humidity
levels within the car's cabin, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable
driving experience for passengers. The AC system operates by removing
heat and moisture from the air inside the car, cooling it down and
circulating it back into the cabin. It consists of several key components,
including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and refrigerant,
working in conjunction to create a controlled environment within the
vehicle. The AC system plays a crucial role in enhancing driver and
passenger comfort during hot weather conditions, promoting safety and
well-being while on the road.
Introduction
5. ❖ What is Automtive Air
Conditioning System ?
● Air conditioning is to adjust the indoor air and make its temperature
,humidity , flow test and cleaness reach the requirement of human
comfort range.
● Air conditioning has two working basic modes:- cooling and heating
● Automobile Air conditioning system is a typical air conditioner
structure.
6. ❖ How AC Works in a car ?
● The air-conditioning system in a car works by manipulating
refrigerant between a liquid and a gaseous state.
● As the refrigerant changes states, it absorbs heat and humidity from
the vehicle and allows the system to give off cool, dry air.
● To change the refrigerant between a liquid and a gaseous state, the
air-conditioning system works to control pressure and temperature
8. Applications of A C
● The air circulating system circulates cooled air in to the car.
● Control the temperature of the car by sensing .
● Control refrigerant system.
● Remove the moisture from the air, so it feels more
comfortable inside the vehicle.
10. ❖ Compressor
● The compressor operation is a part of a
continuous cycle in the AC sysytem.
● The compressor typically driven by a belt
connected to cars engine.
● It compress the refrigerant gas absorb from
heat from the cabin and release it outside the
vehicle
● Compress the low pressure refrigerant gas
from the evaporator to a high pressure .
11. ❖ Condensor
● Responsible for heat dissipation.
● The condensor is designed to radiate heat
● Located in front of the radiator .
● Hot compressed refrigerant vapour cools
at constant pressure to liquid.
● Condensor cool down the refrigerant.
.
12. ❖ Evaporator
● Heat absorption component
● Remove heat from the inside of the vehicle
● Secondary benifit - dehumidisation
● Unconditioned air passes through a filter befor
entering the evaporator
● Plate fin evaporator with micro channels used
13. ❖ Accumulator
● To protecting the compressor
● Prevent car compressor failure due to liquid
slugging
● Retaining moisture and contaminents from system
● Ensuring oil return
14. ❖ Expansion valve
● In Ac system ,the condensor and
evaporator are either divided by expansion
valve or a orifice tube.
● The valve guages the output heat and
pressure level of the condensor.
● And also regulate the refregerant that
enters the evaporator.
15. Advantages of AC
● Ensure optical perfomance
● Minimize costly repairs
● Foaster good air quality
● Better fuel ecnomy
● Maintains Your cars value
● Better air condition
● Prevent the accumulation of a bad odour
● Enhance safety
16. Disadavantages of AC
● High Energy Bills
● Cause skin dryness
● Respiratory complecations
● Increases flu, cold and sinus symptoms
17. Conclusion
Air conditioning (AC) plays a crucial role in enhancing the comfort and safety of
passengers during travel. It not only provides a pleasant driving experience but also
helps maintain a suitable temperature and humidity level inside the vehicle. Car AC
systems are designed to cool down the cabin during hot weather and defog the
windows during cold and humid conditions, ensuring clear visibility for the driver.
Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the development of more
efficient and eco-friendly AC systems, minimizing the impact on the environment.
Overall, car AC has become an indispensable feature in modern vehicles, contributing
to a comfortable and enjoyable journey for all occupants.
