Air Conditioning Program
A car air conditioning system consists of a compact version of the components of the normal air conditioner that has an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion device, and a fan which are fitted in a car to provide air condition inside the passenger’s compartment. This air conditioning system takes power from the engine’s crankshaft and is operated by the passengers from the cockpit by pressing the button assigned to this system. See illustration.

Why do We Need an Automotive Air Conditioning System?
The air conditioning system inside a cabin is required to provide a relaxed and fatigue free atmosphere, which in turn provides comfort which is essential for the health of a human being. The following reasons are why a properly functioning AC system is important:
• During the summers there is lots of hot and humid air in the atmosphere which causes difficulty for a driver to drive and also for the passengers to travel, so during summer, an effective air conditioning system is required in a car which can provide a cool and humid free environment inside a passenger’s compartment.
• Air conditioning does not only condition the environment inside a passenger’s cabin but also provides filtered air which is very essential in cities like Los Angeles due to the very hazardous air pollution condition that can cause health issues to the passengers.
• In winters a vehicle faces a problem of fog or vapor formation over the windshield which causes visibility problems and makes it difficult for a driver to drive a car, so it is essential for a vehicle to be equipped with a system that can mitigate these potential issues.

Detecting a potential refrigerant leak
A technician can detect a refrigerant leak by using ultraviolet (UV) dye. A technician will send a fluorescent dye through the system to find the source of the leak. Once it circulates throughout your air conditioning system, a detection lamp is used to find the leak’s exact location.

Flushing the system
An A/C system flush is a necessary procedure to ensure the air conditioning system is clean and free from any contaminants. Any foreign objects in the AC system can cause blockages and prevent the compressor from operating efficiently. An AC flush is a service or preventative maintenance that can be performed on automotive cooling systems to clean sludge and sediment from the hoses and drains and all parts of the air conditioning unit while checking for leaks.

The signs of a refrigerant leak in your air conditioning system
□ Less-effective cooling
□ Higher than normal levels of vehicle cabin humidity
□ Long cooling cycles (air conditioner stays on longer)
□ Noticeable bubbling sounds from the engine compartment

Why does an air conditioning system need to be lubricated?
Your AC compressor requires lubrication for proper functioning and a long life because anytime you have metal parts rotating or sliding they will fail quickly if they aren’t properly lubricated. This failure comes from quick wear and excessive heat buildup.
Key components: AC compressor
One of the key ingredients to a well-functioning compressor is having the right lubricant in place. Oil or lubricant protects your compressor, and without it, your compressor will break down quickly.
