AC Condenser Cleaning

  • 6 years ago
In this video I show you how to improve the performance of your AC system by cleaning the AC Condenser. \r
\r
Heres a brief explanation of a typical AC system:\r
\r
The compressors takes the refrigerant in a gas state from the evaporator, compresses it increasing its pressure, and forces it into the condenser. Thisof compression creates heat. Your AC condensers job is to take the hot compressed refrigerant in a gas state from the compressor, cool it and turn it into a liquid. Next the refrigerant in a liquid state is sent into the receiver/dryer to take any moisture out. Then the liquid refrigerant is sent to the expansion valve where it regulates the amount of refrigerant sent into the evaporator. When it enters the evaporator, the refrigerant expands rapidly and turns back into a cooled gas. The AC blower fan sends air over the evaporator coils giving you cool air out of your vents. From the evaporator the refrigerant is sent back to the compressor to complete the loop and the cycle repeats.\r
\r
With clean and unclogged cooling fins on the AC condenser, youll not only improve the performance of your AC system, youll also improve the cooling performance of the engines radiator since the AC condenser sits in front of the radiator and improved air flow through the condenser means improved air flow through the radiator as well.\r
