Aircon Regas Penang

Aircon Regas

Car Aircons Are Important Too!

Aircons are life savers during hot and humid days. We have aircons in our homes, shopping malls and cars. However, we often overlook the importance of air conditioning units in our car. We maintain and service our engine parts but rarely put our attention to our vehicle’s aircon.

In Penang, MOT carries out a vehicle inspection or tests on vehicles starting from their third model year. They are checked for safety such as your vehicle’s tyres or wheel and emissions. If something does not meet the requirement, you would not be able to renew your road tax.

What Governs Cool Air?

One of the things they will check is your air con. After a few years, your air con might become less efficient at cooling your vehicle. This is because the refrigerant or gas in it leaks over time and 10% of it is lost every year.

As refrigerant is the gas that is responsible for the heat transfer of your air, insufficient levels will cause your air con to blow out warm air. If it is not topped up, your air conditioner cannot work properly and fuel consumption will increase as well. Your air conditioning unit will eventually break down and repair is needed.

How To Regas Your Aircon?

Typically, every vehicle should have an aircon regas once every 2 years. An air con regas or air con recharge is basically a refill of your refrigerant. So how do we re-gas your air con?

Firstly, we run a check for free on your air conditioning unit! This is done with your air conditioning system switched on to high and the compressor is inspected. An accessory belt that changes liquid refrigerant to gas drives this compressor. This step may be able to identify the problem involved – whether it is low on refrigerant, a compressor problem or an electrical problem.  If there is a leak, the leak must be first addressed.

Next, the vehicle is then turned off. Pressure testing is carried out to determine the pressure of the gas left.  After that, the recharge hose is attached. The vehicle is then restarted and the refrigerant can is attached to the recharge hose. Finally, the temperature of the air blown out by the air con is checked.

Note that when we recharge your air con, we normally remove the remaining refrigerant and fill it to the top with new refrigerant.
