OEM Auto Air Conditioning Parts

Your vehicle's air conditioning helps you maintain a pleasant cabin temperature no matter how brutishly oppressive the weather outside gets. Whether it's cooling you in summer or warming you in winter, that system is made up of several parts. Knowing what they do, how they work, and the signs of impending failure is important, then.

How Your Air Conditioning Works

There are three primary components to an automotive AC system: the compressor, condenser, and evaporator. Therefore, cooling occurs after a few stages. Initially, the refrigerant is pressurized until it becomes a hot gas. The gas then gets chilled, causing it to become a liquid all over again. The liquid passes through a valve, where it gets transformed into a low pressure gas. That then is chilled anew, with a fan blowing the resulting cool air through the air vents and into your passenger space.

Heating is simpler, though. The warm coolant passes through a heater core, which a front-mounted fan blows over to send warm air through those same vents.
