Air Conditioning is a SPECTACULAR Technology, the more you learn, the more interesting it is
In this video, we break down how automotive air conditioning (A/C) systems work. Whether you’re curious about what each component does or trying to understand why your A/C isn’t cooling properly, this is the video for you.
We cover:
– The key components of a standard automotive A/C system
– How refrigerant flows and changes state to remove heat from the cabin
– Common causes of failure like leaks, clogs, and compressor damage
– Why a contaminated condenser must often be replaced—not flushed
– How to diagnose systems with multiple points of failure
– The role of relative humidity in A/C and defrost performance
– Why your A/C runs during defrost mode—even in winter
This is essential knowledge for car owners and aspiring technicians alike. If your vehicle’s air conditioning isn’t working right, understanding the system can save time, money, and frustration.
