The car’s air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions pioneered by the earlier automobile makers. Well, the concept behind air conditional can be traced back in history. Egyptians are amongst the former inventors of air conditioning systems which they applied in their houses due to the hot desert temperatures. However, car air conditioning was brought about by Chrysler Imperial models which were the first cars to introduce air conditioning systems. It was until the 80s when there mass a full-scale production of cars with air conditioning. Currently, almost all the newest models are usually equipped with automated air condition.
The air condition and many other car accessories are always prone to damage and breakdown. The air condition itself demands extra care and protection to increase its life and health.

Working Principle of an air conditioning system.
Almost 90% of car owners do not know how car air conditioning works. It is sad when one visits a service center to get a minor problem which can be easily fixed by oneself, done by the servicemen. It is wise to at least know the basics of how an air conditioning system works.
Well, a conditioning system works by using the property of manipulating the refrigerant. Changing it from a gaseous to a liquid state and vice versa. The process begins in the compressor which is mounted on the car’s engine. It is driven by a belt and takes in low-pressure gas and converts it into high-pressure gas. The gas then flows to the condenser which is responsible for reducing the refrigerant temperature while maintaining its pressure. The refrigerant flows to the dryer which removes moisture and other harmful elements from the refrigerant. From the dryer, the refrigerant gets into the evaporator which is located hind the dashboard. It changes the evaporator back to a gaseous state causing a cooling effect.
How to keep your air conditioning system at its best.
Annual service.
It is advisable to at least get your air conditioning system checked once every year. The process will involve checking for any leaks of the refrigerant, damage to any parts of the system, and detection of any other problem.
