OEM Mitsubishi AC System Parts

Car AC Systems: How They Work

Many parts make them up -- everything from compressors and condensers to expansion valves and evaporators, plus cooling fans.

The process starts with compressing liquid refrigerant, turning it into a hot gas. The gas is then cooled back into a liquid and turned into a gas once more (this time, at a lower pressure). Then, it's chilled further, and as it cools, it cools down the air surrounding it; that air passes through the vehicle's ducts, out its vents, and into its interior.

Signs Yours Might be Going Bad

Unfortunately, a car air conditioner can develop problems over time, owing to its use and ages. For instance, its seals and hoses can weaken and break down, or its compressor and condenser can fail. When these things happen, it invariably causes other issues. Luckily, there are symptoms that'll tell you something's up. They include:

• The system not cooling as well as it usually does (indicating potentially low or leaking refrigerant)
• An unusually warm interior
• Strange noises coming from the system
• A jammed compressor clutch (indicating a bad AC compressor)
• Frost building up
• An HVAC warning illuminated on the dashboard
• A flashing AC button
• Seemingly abnormal discharge pressure

The last four signs are of a bad AC condenser. See any of these, and an AC repair may be needed. Before you buy parts, however, make sure they're genuine.
