Keep reading to learn how your car air conditioning system works, the dangers of automotive refrigerant, and just how vital the HVAC components are to a well-working A/C system.   How A Car Air Conditioning System Functions A car air conditioning system is a complex array of HVAC components that must work in unison to be effective. The compressor is basically a pump attached to your engine's crankshaft. It compresses a refrigerant (low-pressure gas) into a high-pressure gas, creating heat. The condenser then cools down that hot, high-pressure gas, turning it into a liquid. During this process, condensation produces moisture and is removed via the receiver-dryer. Then, it travels through the thermal expansion valve (orifice tube), allowing the high-pressure liquid to expand. The refrigerant is now a cold, low-pressure liquid that enters the evaporator (usually in the car's cabin), absorbing the hot air inside it. A fan blows the cold air inside the cabin and the heat outside the vehicle. This process turns that cold, low-pressure liquid into a warm, low-pressure gas again, and the process repeats.
