The primary function of your car's Air Conditioning system is to keep you cool. It also dehumidifies your car when the windows get fogged up, and helps the defroster work more efficiently in the winter. When it stops performing properly, then it is time to visit the technicians at Broadway Auto Clinic. We have state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and expertly trained technicians ready to determine why your vehicle's A/C system is not working – regardless of the manufacturer. We will repair and return your vehicle to its cooling ways quickly and correctly. We stock both R-12 and R-134a refrigerant for your car. We also do conversions (changing over your car from the old refrigerant to the new type). This has become the preferred method for recharging cars built before 1993.
How it works!
The compressor, mounted on the engine, is a pump that circulates the refrigerant through the system. This is the most important and expensive component of the A/C system.
The condenser transfers heat removed from the passenger compartment to the outside air. It is located in front of the radiator, just behind the front grille of the vehicle.
The evaporator, located near the dash or firewall, transfers the passenger compartment heat to the refrigerant, which transfers it to the condenser.
The dryer absorbs any excess moisture from the refrigerant.
Other areas that should be inspected include the flexible hoses that connect each of the major components together, their metal connectors and rubber seals. Each of these components are a potential source for leaks and need to be inspected regularly.
We use top rated R T I AC equipment at Broadway Auto Clinic.
