Automobile air-conditioning condenser is an important part of automobile air-conditioning system, and the frequency of use is high, so it often causes various problems, and customer complaints will follow. After understanding the reasons for customer complaints, we must actively help customers solve problems.

  • The role of automobile air conditioning condenser

The function of the automobile air conditioner condenser is to complete the heat exchange of the refrigeration system. The condenser is a heat dissipation device in the car air conditioner, which dissipates the heat generated by the refrigerant during the compression process of the compressor to the space outside the car, turning the high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the compressor into a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The automobile air conditioner condenser is a part of the refrigeration system, which is a kind of heat exchanger, which can convert gas or vapor into liquid, and transfer the heat of the refrigerant in the tube to the air near the tube.

  • Reasons for Customer Complaints

1. The air conditioner is not cold enough or not refrigerated: it may be due to the blockage of the car condenser or the leakage of refrigerant.


2. Product quality problems: the quality does not meet the standard, the product function is lacking, and the variety is uneven.


3. Product error problem: the goods are inconsistent with the products purchased by the customer, and the goods are not in the right version.


4. Service problems: The service attitude and methods of the enterprise are not perfect, such as the poor working attitude of the employees and the lack of professional knowledge.


5. Customers have too high expectations for products or services: the company's products and services do not meet customers' psychological expectations, which leads to customers' disappointment with the company.

  • Ways to resolve customer complaints

1. Due to the blockage of the car condenser and the leakage of the refrigerant, the problem of insufficient or no cooling occurs. We should provide the customer with the cleaning steps and precautions of the car condenser before or after purchasing the product. If the customer can't solve it by himself, he can ask professionals to help him deal with it or replace the product.


2. Due to product quality problems, failure to meet quality standards, lack of product functions and other product problems, and because the products we give to customers are inconsistent with what customers need, we should immediately replace products for customers and provide better products. Products, some small discounts can be given when necessary.


3. If it is because of pre-sales or after-sales service issues, we should establish a sound service process and improve it. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the training and management of service personnel, and finally, it is necessary to improve the service supervision mechanism.

  • Steps to clean car air conditioner

1. Carefully check the inlet position of the outside air, and open the hood if necessary.


2. Mix the detergent with water, because the washing product of the condensation net is alkaline, if you do not mix the detergent with water, the condenser will be slightly corroded, so it is very important to reduce the concentration by adding water, because too high concentration will only affect the It will be washed very clean, but the corrosion must be considered.


3. Start the car engine, turn on the air conditioner, make the electronic fan work, and wash it with water first to make it flow through the condenser. At this time, the electronic fan may stop because the temperature of the condenser is too low. In this case, it is necessary to stop flushing, let the temperature of the condenser rise, and restart the operation of the electronic fan. It must be flushed in place.


4. Use a water spray tool (such as a flower watering device) to spray the washed product on the surface of the condenser, use the operation of the electronic fan to inhale and distribute it to every corner, and when it is sprayed, turn off the air conditioner and engine, and observe the condenser After a few minutes, you will see that the dirt on the surface will rise, accompanied by some small bubbles.


5. Wait a few minutes to start the air conditioner again to make the fan rotate. At this time, rinse with a lot of water. The more thorough the rinse, the better. This step cannot be saved. After enough rinse, you will find that the surface of the condenser is very clean and looks like new. It's the same as the one I bought, and the cleaning is done.

  • Precautions for cleaning car air conditioner condenser

1. When the condenser has not reached the requirement of affecting the heat dissipation of the air conditioning system, it only needs to carry out simple and regular dust removal.


2. The heat dissipation of the air conditioning system is poor, and when the condenser is blocked, not only simple dust removal must be done, but also clean water and detergent must be filled with cleaning equipment. See the cleaning steps above for details.


3. When the car condenser and water tank are completely blocked, the bumper, condenser and water tank must be disassembled before thorough cleaning. This part of the disassembly is recommended to be handled by professionals.


FAQs


Q1: How to judge whether the car air conditioner condenser is working normally?

You can check the air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioner, whether you hear abnormal sounds, check whether the condenser is dirty or damaged, and finally confirm whether there is a lack of refrigerant. If these phenomena appear, the car condenser is not working properly.


Q2: How to replace the car air conditioner condenser?

Firstly, to disassemble the condenser, you need to discharge the refrigerant, then remove the pipeline connected to the condenser, and plug the nozzle with a cloth, and finally loosen the condenser fixing bolts, and take out the condenser. Note that when disassembling the condenser, be careful not to damage the cooling fins of the condenser. The steps for installing the condenser are in reverse order of removal.


Q3: How to discharge the refrigerant?

Since the removal of refrigerant requires the use of professional equipment, it is recommended that you hand over the removal of refrigerant to professionals.
