Your vehicle AC system has a lot of moving part and they require regular maintenance just like any other component in your vehicle. Major parts of AC system are:

  • Air condition refrigerant is a  compound used in AC system to absorb and release the heat, by circulating through the AC system, changing from liquid to gas (and reverse).
  • Air Condition compressor is the main part of your AC system, it compress and circulate the refrigerant gas in your AC system.
  • The condenser on the the other hand is releasing the heat from refrigerant by cooling down the gas and turn it back to liquid.
  • Evaporator cools down the warm air, by extracting the heat from air in order to let the liquid refrigerant to evaporate.
  • Dryer or receiver is a liquid tank to store the refrigerant.
  • Expansion valve regulating the flow of refrigerant into evaporator.

AC Gas Refill (Refrigerant refill / AC Recharge)

While there are many DIY refill kit in the market, refilling your vehicle AC gas is not as simple as it may sound and often required a experienced mechanic to do it correctly.  If your air condition is not blowing cool air, the problem may not simply be lack of  gas, there might be a leakage which must be sealed before you fill the gas, other part such as compressor,  expansion valve, receiver or dryer, condenser,  …  might also be the reason you AC is not cooling.

On the best scenario that everything else is functioning properly, still you need to know the exact amount and type of GAS your AC required, also you have to check and make sure there is no air in the system instead of GAS and if there is any, remove it before you fill the GAS to AC system.
