Almost the thief all modern cars is established the conditioner. It allows to support a certain temperature condition in salon. At emergence of an unpleasant smell many car owners consider that freon in the conditioner began to flow, but this opinion is wrong.
Whether has began to smell freon in the car conditioner
The conditioner - very useful invention. Its installation in cars allows to make process of movement on a car more comfortable. As coolant in modern conditioners use freon. It circulates on internal tubes and the air adjoining to them is cooled.
At emergence of an unpleasant smell in inside of the car the car owners quite often make the assumptions that it is freon. But it is far from the truth. If the conditioner is serviceable, freon cannot be emitted to the external environment and be felt somehow. When the integrity of the tubes located in the conditioner is broken, there is a leak. But also in this case freon cannot be felt. This substance has practically no smell. It is especially relevant concerning those types of freon which are used when filling modern air conditioning systems. Experts assure that it is possible to feel some specific aroma only if to open a tank with freon and to rise very close. At leak it cannot be felt.
Why at salon there is a specific smell
If the smell nevertheless is present at salon and there is it in operating time of the conditioner, the reasons can be a little. The most probable - contamination of a drainage system. In this case the smell can be very unpleasant. Only cleaning of a system can correct a situation.
If at turning on of the conditioner the sweetish smell, most likely, the reason in antifreeze leak is felt. At strong leak of freon can smell of oil from a system. Install special indicators in some modern conditioners. When the tightness of tubes is broken and freon begins to flow away, in salon the specific smell is felt. But it is not a smell of freon, but aroma of strongly smelling reagents. Having felt it, the car owner has an opportunity in time to understand that the conditioner is not serviceable and to address experts in service.
Freon is not poisonous in those quantities in which it is capable to be emitted at breakage of the conditioner therefore fears for health in this case are unfounded.
