What is the pressure of the car air conditioning pipe
Youdaoplaceholder0 Car air conditioning pipe pressure refers to the pressure produced by the refrigerant in the pipe when the car air conditioning system is running, which is divided into high pressure and low pressure.
Normal range
Youdaoplaceholder0 High-pressure pipe pressure : Normal range is generally 15 to 18bar (about 1.3 to 1.7MPa) .
At idle, if the ambient temperature is high, such as direct summer sun, the high pressure may be slightly higher but generally not exceed 2.8MPa.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Low-pressure pipe pressure : Normal range is generally between 1.0 and 2.5bar (about 0.1 to 0.25MPa), usually between 0.15 and 0.25MPa .
Influencing factors
The pressure of automotive air conditioning pipes can be affected by multiple factors:
Youdaoplaceholder0 Engine speed : Changes in speed cause fluctuations in pressure.
Youdaoplaceholder0 External temperature : When temperature rises, pressure usually rises accordingly.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Condenser status : Abnormal pressure may occur if the condenser does not cool well .
Detection methods and importance
Car owners can promptly detect problems in the air conditioning system by observing the pressure values. When abnormal pressure occurs, measures such as checking or replacing the expansion valve, repairing or replacing the compressor, adding refrigerant, etc. can be taken to ensure that the vehicle air conditioning system is always in good operating condition, creating a comfortable environment for the occupants in the vehicle .
Automobile Air conditioning pipe PRESSURE THE EFFECT IS mainly manifested in THE FOLLOWING aspects:
Youdaoplaceholder0 Protecting system components : Changes in pressure inside automotive air conditioning pipes directly affect the normal operation of the system and the lifespan of the components. Youdaoplaceholder0 The high pressure pipe cuts off the clutch circuit when the pressure is too high to prevent critical components such as the compressor from being damaged by excessive pressure; Youdaoplaceholder0 The low-pressure pipe cuts off the electromagnetic clutch circuit when the pressure is too low, preventing the compressor from operating under conditions of insufficient refrigerant, thereby protecting the compressor and extending its service life .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Adjusting cooling effect : Changes in pressure directly affect the circulation and state of the refrigerant and thereby the cooling effect. The refrigerant circulates in a sealed air conditioning system, undergoing four processes: compression, heat dissipation, throttling and heat absorption. The pressure switch ensures smooth circulation of refrigerant in the system to maintain good cooling effect by monitoring pressure changes during these processes.
Youdaoplaceholder0 System stability : The automotive air conditioning pressure switch not only monitors the system pressure but also activates the protection mechanism when the pressure is abnormal, preventing the system from malfunctioning due to pressure problems. High voltage switch and low voltage SWITCH cut OFF CIRCUIT WHEN pressure is too high or too low respectively, protect SYSTEM from DAMAGE, ENSURE SYSTEM stable operation .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Working principle : The working principle of an automotive air conditioning system involves the circulation of refrigerant. The refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat in the evaporator, is compressed by the compressor into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, enters the condenser through high-pressure pipes to condense into liquid, and then flows to the evaporator through the expansion valve. This process repeats continuously to ensure cooling effect .
Through these functions, the pressure inside the car air conditioning pipes not only protects the system components but also ensures the stable operation of the system and good cooling effect.
Youdaoplaceholder0 The main causes of air conditioning pipe pressure failure in automobiles include air in the system, system blockage, excessive refrigerant, expansion valve failure . Specifically:
Youdaoplaceholder0 Air in the system : During maintenance or addition of refrigerant, if the emptying operation is not thorough, air will mix into the system, causing an increase in condensing pressure. This affects normal circulation and pressure distribution of the refrigerant and requires re-evacuating and refilling the refrigerant .
Youdaoplaceholder0 System blockage : Commonly seen in expansion valve failure or blockage. As a key component for regulating the flow of refrigerant, the expansion valve, once clogged or failed, will impede the flow of refrigerant, causing the pressure in the high-pressure pipe to rise. To fix this problem usually requires replacing the expansion valve .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Excessive refrigerant : When too much refrigerant is added, the internal pressure of the system will increase, the exhaust and intake ports will feel hot, and the compressor may also make a knocking sound. The refrigerant needs to be refilled and refilled quantitatively .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Expansion valve failure : Failure of the expansion valve can cause dew or frosting in low-pressure pipelines, affecting the flow and pressure regulation of the refrigerant. Checking the installation position or replacing the expansion valve is a necessary solution step .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Poor heat dissipation of condenser : Poor heat dissipation of condenser can also cause the pressure to rise. Excessive dirt on the surface of the condenser or clogged radiator grille can affect heat dissipation. The condenser needs to be cleaned or replaced .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Fault symptoms include poor cooling effect of the air conditioner, abnormal temperature at the air outlet, and hearing a "hissing" sound near the expansion valve. If these occur, the air conditioning system should be checked and repaired in time to ensure it is restored to normal working condition .
