Miami Shop for Clogged A/C Condenser and Compressors

If you live in the Miami area and drive a car, you know how important it is to have an air conditioning system that works when you need it to. But problems can arise, leaving you to drive in the heat with an air conditioning system that doesn’t work. Often, a broken condenser can cause an air conditioning system to fail to work. A condenser converts vapor into liquid form. If it is clogged, your air conditioning system will blow out warm air.

The air conditioning specialists that work with AAA Radiator and Air Conditioning can fix clogged condensers in air conditioning systems of vehicles of all types. Get in touch with us soon if you would like us to fix your car’s air conditioning system so that you can get back to driving with an air conditioning system that works as soon as possible.

How an Auto Air Conditioning Compressor Becomes Clogged

The compressor is the centerpiece of any car’s air conditioning system. It is responsible for receiving cooling agent (also referred to as refrigerant) and then pressurizing it. After the compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, it sends it to the evaporator, which will turn the refrigerant into vapor before it gets propelled into the cabin of the car.

Sometimes, refrigerants can get dirty or clogged, which can prevent the air conditioning system from creating cool air like it should. Clogged or dirty refrigerant happens over time, when the refrigerant collects residue and debris from the air and other parts of the air conditioning system. If your car has contaminated refrigerant, removing it and replacing it with fresh refrigerant is easy if you get an evacuation and recharge from a Miami repair shop that specializes in A/C systems.

It’s also possible for compressors to leak refrigerant, which will cause the air conditioning system to produce warm air. Compressor leaks happen when parts within the compressor (especially the seal) get worn down and create space for the refrigerant to seep through. If the refrigerant in your car’s air conditioning system is leaking out, or if the compressor is clogged or dirty, it won’t be able to produce cool air and the temperature of your car’s cabin will stay the same.

Why Fixing a Clogged Condenser Is Important to Your Car’s Air Conditioning System

The condenser is a vital part of your car’s air conditioning system. The condenser takes the refrigerant in your car’s air conditioning system and converts it from a hot vapor into a cool liquid. The cool liquid is then used to cool the cabin of your car. Since it is such a vital part of any car’s air conditioning system, your entire air conditioning system will fail if there is a problem with the condenser.

Condensers are prone to breaking if they are clogged with refrigerant residue and other particles. This residue can hinder the condenser’s ability to convert the refrigerant from vapor to liquid. If the condenser does not properly convert the refrigerant from vapor to liquid, it will not only fail to cool your car but it will be dangerous for you to inhale.

If your car’s condenser is broken, it can manifest in a variety of different ways. One way that you can tell that your car’s condenser is broken if you hear a noise coming from it when you turn the air conditioning system on. When contaminated refrigerant breaks down in your car’s air conditioning system due to a clog, it can create friction, which can cause little bits of metal to flake off and enter into the air conditioning system. If these pieces of metal get stuck in the condenser, they can create a noise that sounds like rattling or grumbling. Your condenser may also make a clunking noise if the automatic safety shutoff is engaged, which will happen if there is low pressure in the air conditioning system. Low pressure can be created by an infiltration of contaminants in the system.

Another way that you can tell that there is something wrong with your car’s condenser is intermittent or inconsistent cooling. If there is something wrong with your condenser, air can become too cold within your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause ice to form. Ice in your air conditioning system can block air from flowing freely and create an unstable temperature. A burning smell is another indicator that there is something wrong with your air conditioning system’s condenser.

Evacuation and Recharge

Refrigerant is the substance that makes the air that comes out of your air conditioning system cool. If it has been cycling through your car’s system for a long time, it can accumulate residue and other impurities. Draining it and replacing it with new refrigerant is known as an evacuation and recharge, and can be done by experienced air conditioning specialists at AAA Radiator and Auto Air Conditioning.

Yearly System Assessment

It’s a good idea to have an expert take a look at your air conditioning system, even if there is nothing wrong. If you have an expert perform a system assessment, you can identify parts of your air conditioning system that may be vulnerable to breaking soon. Identifying potential problems before they escalate can prevent frustrations at a later date. We recommend that Miami drivers get a system assessment of their air conditioning system at least once per year.
