According to the magazine “Motor Train”, the inside of your car can contain about 10 times more pollutants than the air in an equivalent space outside the car. Manufacturers have committed to fix that in recent years with improvements in filters and ducts air in the cabins. A common source of problems is the system of air conditioning. The evaporator air conditioning is moistened by passing the air over his cold wet surface. This moist environment is a good place for mold and mildew to form and to dust and pollen come together, finding their way back to the system of air . Bacteria grow exceptionally well in this area, but it turns warm wet feel when you turn off the car. This contamination must be cleaned regularly.
Instructions
- Check the system air conditioner under the hood of your vehicle. You are searching for the body frame evaporator / heater. It is in the firewall that separates the engine compartment from the passenger area. It will be a plastic case cover protruding outward from the firewall. The blower motor is connected to the housing. Are you looking for the easiest access to the core of air conditioning.
- Access the evaporator core. Many vehicles have a resistor block is mounted above or to the side of the heater box. You can remove it for easy access. You may also want to consider removing the fan and see if you can access the evaporator core. If none of these methods work, you can make a hole 3/8 inch (0.375 cm) between the box and the evaporator fan. This will be sealed later. Need a direct route to cover the evaporator core with cleaner.
- Spray the cleaner through the access point to the evaporator core. If you can see the core and completely cover it, that’s the best way. Many of these cleaners are based foam, designed by the manufacturers latching all surfaces within the heater housing to clean and disinfect. Fill the area with foam and let it sit for at least half an hour. Foam and liquid will pass through the drain openings when finished with your cleaning task.
- Gently rinse the area with water. You can use a light spray with a garden hose. Make a helper watch the interior vents while you do this and you can pour water into the car. If you are not comfortable with the hose, use a spray bottle containing clean water to provide an extra rinse.
- Seal the box heater. Install the fan resistor block or if you’ve removed any. If you have made a hole, use a tube RTV silicone to seal the opening. When you want to re-clean the evaporator, simply remove the silicone dry with a stick or screwdriver to access the kernel. Use your car for half an hour with the high heat and the fan at its strongest for the area to dry completely point.
Tips and Warnings
Consider installing a game that includes an accessory installed the heater box to connect a tube. You can then spraying a foaming cleaning solution through the tube. This makes it easy, and you can clean up the system followed. Make your fan run for a few minutes with the air conditioning off when you stop your car on hot days to help moisture that forms in the system dry.
