15 Car AC Components and Their Functions Individually!

A properly functioning car AC can provide comfort to the driver while driving, making the air cooler and improving air circulation.

To perform its function, a car's AC consists of various components that work together and support each other.

15 Car AC Components and Their Functions Individually!

To perform its job properly, the car's AC system consists of various components that work together for optimal results.

But do you know the functions of each car's AC component and what parts make up the system? Let’s take a closer look!

1. AC Compressor

The first component in a car AC system is the compressor, which pumps freon gas so it can circulate to other AC parts.

In addition, the compressor compresses the refrigerant, changing it from a gas into liquid form.

The AC compressor is divided into two sections that both work to pump refrigerant toward the condenser. The first one is the suction line (low pressure), connecting the refrigerant from the evaporator, and the discharge line (high pressure), connecting the refrigerant to the condenser.

2. Condenser

The next car's AC component is the condenser, which helps regulate the AC temperature inside the car.

The condenser works by releasing heat from the freon, which is then cooled down with the help of the cooling fan.

3. Freon

The next and most familiar component in car AC is freon, a chemical refrigerant that absorbs heat from the cabin air and releases it outside.

Because of this function, if your car's AC no longer blows cold air, one of the possible causes is low or empty freon.

4. Receiver Dryer

The receiver dryer filters dirt and moisture from the AC system. It is located between the condenser and the expansion valve.

This component helps protect the AC system from issues such as clogged expansion valves or compressor corrosion, which can reduce the overall performance of the AC.

5. Expansion Valve

The expansion valve changes liquid freon into gas through a spraying process.

This process makes the refrigerant colder before it flows into the evaporator to absorb heat and produce cool air inside the car cabin.

6. Evaporator

The evaporator plays a vital role in cooling. Its main job is to absorb heat inside the cabin and convert it into cool air.

Sometimes referred to as the AC filter, the refrigerant in the evaporator is cooled first before it flows into the cabin to provide cold air.

7. Cooling Fan

The cooling fan helps lower the condenser’s temperature by blowing air over it. This process cools the freon more effectively, making the AC system more efficient.

Without the cooling fan, the freon would not cool properly, the AC system would be less effective, and its performance could drop significantly.

8. Magnetic Clutch

The magnetic clutch in a car's AC is an electrical component that stops the freon pressure when it gets too high.

Even though the engine pulley keeps spinning, the magnetic clutch controls when the compressor turns on and off.

When the compressor is active, freon pressure rises, especially when the engine is revved.

The magnetic clutch uses magnetic force to connect or disconnect the compressor pulley and shaft, protecting the AC system from damage.

In addition to the car AC components above, there are some other important components as well, including the thermistor, high-pressure hose, low-pressure hose, blower, pressure switch, relay, and cabin filter.

Berkunjung ke Museum Seni Berpotensi Memperpanjang Umur!

Kabar baik untuk Anda yang sering berkunjung ke museum seni! Menurut studi yang dilakukan oleh periset di University College London, mengunjungi museum, galeri seni, dan teater bisa membuat Anda hidup lebih lama. Menarik, bukan?

Dilansir oleh The Jakarta Post, beberapa peneliti di University College London melakukan riset terhadap kurang lebih 6.700 partisipan dalam rentang usia 50 tahun yang mengaku sering terlibat dalam kegiatan seni seperti festival, museum, opera, dan pameran seni.

Setelah melakukan observasi selama 12 tahun, ditemukan data yang menarik. Dari hasil observasi, partisipan yang terlibat dengan kegiatan aristik seperti mengunjungi teater 1 – 2 kali dalam setahun memiliki kemungkinan lebih rendah untuk meninggal sebesar 14% dibanding partisipan yang tidak pernah mengikuti pameran seni apapun.

Tidak hanya itu, Sahabat MyProtection. Ditemukan bahwa partisipan yang makin sering berpartisipasi dalam acara kesenian mempunyai kemungkinan untuk meninggal lebih rendah sebesar 31% atau lebih. Namun, perlu diingat bahwa terdapat faktor lain yang juga mempengaruhi angka harapan hidup seseorang.

Selain menikmati seni berpotensi memperpanjang umur Anda, terlibat dalam pembuatan seni juga baik untuk otak Anda. Dikutip dari Harvard Health Publishing, terlibat dalam kegiatan seni seperti membuat lukisan atau mengunjungi dapat meningkatkan performa otak, nengurangi stress dan memberikan ketenangan bagi individu yang menjalani perawatan di rumah atau rumah sakit.

Bahkan, kegiatan melukis sering kali direkomendasikan kepada penderita Dementia karena membantu penderita mengingat hal dengan lebih baik. Kalau Anda, kegiatan seni apa, sih yang paling diminati?

Bahaya Konsumsi Gorengan: Bikin Cepat Tua Hingga Picu Kanker

Jakarta, 14 Mei 2020 - MyProtection News

Gorengan merupakan cemilan yang dikenal luas oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Berbagai jenis gorengan pun bisa ditemukan di sekitar rumah seperti bakwan, gorengan tempe, dan pisang molen. Apalagi setelah seharian berpuasa, rasanya pasti nikmat menyantap gorengan panas nan renyah. Namun, konsumsi gorengan dalam jumlah besar bisa menimbulkan resiko pada tubuh.

Dikutip dari CNN Indonesia, menurut dokter spesialis kulit Arini Astasari Widodo, makanan gorengan bisa mempengaruhi kondisi kulit. Proses menggoreng bisa meningkatkan molekul AGE (advanced glycation end products) yang mengakibatkan kerusakan kolagen dan elastin, sehingga memicu penuaan kulit.

Molekul AGE ini juga bisa dipicu akibat makanan manis. Sehingga kulit terlihat tak segar, wajah menjadi puffy, serta lebih cepat kehilangan elastisitas kulit. Oleh karena itu konsumsi gorengan, MSG, serta gula perlu diperhatikan setiap waktu karena jaringan terbesar tubuh atau kulit bisa dipengaruhi dari makanan yang kita konsumsi sehari-hari.

Selain itu, penggorengan bisa menghasilkan senyawa acrylamide yang bisa meningkatkan risiko kanker.

Lemak trans yang terdapat pada gorengan jika dikonsumsi berlebihan bisa menimbulkan inflamasi (peradangan) pada kulit. Akibatnya, kulit jadi lebih sensitif, berpotensi timbul eksim dan autoimun. Konsumsi gorengan berlebih juga bisa memicu resiko kesehatan lainnya seperti radang tenggorokan, kolestrol, diabetes, dan resiko lainnya.

Upaya menjaga kesehatan Anda bisa dimulai dengan menjaga pola makan & pola hidup. Jangan lupa untuk menambahkan proteksi ekstra agar keamanan dan kenyamanan keluarga selalu prima dengan Perlindungan Kesehatan Prima.
