GMR Automotive (AU53313) specialises in taking care of your vehicle's air conditioning (AC) regas, repairs, service, and inspection requirements in and around Caboolture. 

We acknowledge that modern vehicles are complex, comprising numerous elements that require regular upkeep to ensure they run optimally. Among these components, the car air conditioner is an often-overlooked yet crucial system that impacts the overall fuel efficiency of your vehicle. This article will discuss the importance of routine AC maintenance in optimising your fuel usage, how car ACs work, and how we at GMR Automotive can assist you.

Like your car's engine, the AC system comprises multiple parts that require routine service or replacement for continuous and effective performance. When refrigerant pressure drops due to evaporation over time or leaks, your AC system's functionality starts deteriorating, and it must exert extra effort to perform. This extra work translates into increased fuel consumption.

Regular Air Con Maintenance and Fuel Efficiency

Typically, evaporative or leakage loss of refrigerant means your AC system will begin to wear and work harder, leading to higher fuel usage. It is, therefore, crucial to routinely inspect the condition of rubber seals for leak or fracture signs indicating refrigerant loss. Conducting an annual car AC service can prevent expensive system breakdowns now and later.

A properly serviced AC system ensures passengers' safety by protecting them from toxic substances, prevents overheating, and reduces fuel consumption. Here at GMR Automotive, we value environmental conservation, so we offer licensed car AC regas, repairs, service, and inspection by professional technicians.

A car air conditioner system is comprised of four critical components, each playing a unique role in cooling the interior of your car.

The basic functionality of a car's air conditioner is to extract heat from the air inside your vehicle and displace it outdoors. This process leaves behind 'conditioned' or cooled air for recirculation. The hot interior air is channeled through a gas-filled evaporator, where the refrigerant (in gas form) absorbs the heat, effectively removing it from the car's air.

The now heated gas goes through the compressor, where it gets additionally heated via compression. It is then propelled through the condenser, rapidly extracting the refrigerant's heat. Now transformed into a liquid, the refrigerant traverses the expansion device, either a TXV or Orifice tube, regulating its flow towards the evaporator. The high-pressure liquid turns into a low-pressure gas, and a fan blowing over the cold fins of the evaporator completes the process.
