How to Improve the Efficiency of Car Air Conditioning Maintenance?
In a busy workshop, every task needs to be completed efficiently. When it comes to car air conditioning maintenance, timely and effective refrigerant recovery and filling not only affect system performance but also directly impact the customer experience. The AUTOOL LM708 refrigerant recovery machine improves work efficiency by efficiently recovering and filling refrigerant, reducing losses during the recovery process. At the same time, it helps workshops save on refrigerant costs and enhances profitability.
How to Make Car’s Air Conditioning Perform Better
The core component of the air conditioning system is the refrigerant. If the refrigerant is insufficient, the air conditioning cannot cool effectively. Common automotive refrigerants include R-134a and R-1234yf. If you notice that the air conditioning is not cooling, the first step is to check whether the refrigerant is adequate. Typically, vehicle owners can judge the refrigerant level by observing the status of the air conditioning compressor clutch.
Understanding Air Conditioning Refrigerants
The refrigerant used in a car’s air conditioning system is a key factor in maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature. In the past, R-12 (Freon) was the primary refrigerant used in automotive systems, but it was gradually phased out due to its ozone-depleting properties. In the mid-1990s, R-134a refrigerant became the replacement. This refrigerant does not harm the ozone layer, but it still contributes to the greenhouse effect to some extent. Nowadays, R-1234yf refrigerant, the latest generation of refrigerants, has been mandated in Europe due to its greater environmental friendliness and lower global warming potential. It is expected to gradually become the mainstream choice worldwide.
Signs That Car’s Air Conditioning Needs a Refrigerant Replenishment
The proper functioning of a car’s air conditioning system is closely related to the amount of refrigerant it contains. There is no fixed maintenance schedule for checking it, but the following symptoms are often signs of insufficient refrigerant:
1. Air conditioning blows no cold air
If the air conditioning system suddenly stops blowing cold air, it is very likely due to low refrigerant. This issue typically causes the system to malfunction.
2. Air conditioning compressor clutch does not engage
When the refrigerant is low, the air conditioning compressor clutch may fail to engage. You can check the system by observing whether the clutch is operating properly.
3. Air conditioning only cools while accelerating
With insufficient refrigerant, the air conditioning may not function properly at low engine speeds. However, while driving, it might occasionally cool during acceleration.
4. Poor window defogging performance
If the windows remain foggy even when using the defrost mode, it could be due to low refrigerant in the air conditioning system, preventing it from effectively removing moisture.
5. Air conditioning components have been replaced
If any part of the air conditioning system has been replaced, refrigerant may have leaked out during the process, requiring the system to be refilled.
Air Conditioning System Diagram
To better understand the structure and working principle of the air conditioning system, below is a typical air conditioning system diagram showing the main components and their connections. Through these components, the system efficiently circulates refrigerant to provide a cool and comfortable experience for the driver and passengers.
How to Improve Car Air Conditioning Repair Efficiency
Why Use a Refrigerant Recovery Machine?
1. Efficient Refrigerant Recovery and Filling
The AUTOOL LM708 AC recovery machine combines multiple functions, including refrigerant recovery, vacuuming, filling, refrigerant oil filling, automatic and leak detection. This allows for an efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly refrigerant filling process.
2.Compatible with R-134a and R-1234yf Refrigerants
The AUTOOL LM708 refrigerant recovery machine supports two types of refrigerants: R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant. This makes it easy for workshops to service both older and newer vehicle models without worrying about equipment compatibility issues. If the workshop only needs to service R-134a vehicles, we recommend choosing the AUTOOL LM707 refrigerant recovery machine. This equipment is specifically designed for R-134a refrigerant, providing a more economical and efficient solution.
3. Environmental Compliance
As countries implement stricter environmental regulations on the use and recovery of automotive air conditioning refrigerants, using the AUTOOL LM708 refrigerant recovery machine can help auto repair workshops comply with these regulations. It prevents environmental pollution caused by refrigerant leakage and mitigates the risk of potential fines.
4. Economic Benefits and Long-Term Value
For workshops, investing in the AUTOOL LM708 refrigerant recovery machine is a worthwhile choice. By reducing refrigerant waste and improving work efficiency, not only helps enhance service quality but also provides significant economic returns. Especially when handling air conditioning repairs for multiple vehicles, the machine’s high efficiency greatly increases work productivity, reduces customer waiting times, and improves customer satisfaction.
Conclusion
To ensure a car’s air conditioning system works effectively, it is crucial to maintain adequate refrigerant levels and ensure all components are functioning properly. Regular maintenance, inspections, and timely refrigerant replenishment can significantly improve cooling efficiency, ensuring drivers enjoy a cool and comfortable experience, even during hot summer.
