In any enclosed space or structure-whether buildings or conveyances-malodors can reduce human comfort and negatively affect attitude, happiness and productivity; microbial contamination by molds, bacteria, viruses, allergens and stress-causing agents can also be imminent and may have adverse affects on the physical, mental or emotional health of persons exposed. In vehicles, indoor air quality is largely influenced by the functionality of the AC Condenser, a coordinate component which regulates the air that circulates in the car. It belongs to the AC system which is a set of well-coordinated mechanisms which altogether function to maintain the operating temperature of the car engine. It includes the AC Condenser, thermostat, compressor, and hoses.



The AC Condenser is a vital part mainly responsible for providing the car cabin with cool and fresh air. It is usually strategically placed at the front of the radiator so that it is the first part to receive the cold air that flows through the car's grille. It also acquires the air it breathes in from the car's fan and that's what it uses to cool the refrigerant. The compressor and hoses work to pressurize and circulate the refrigerant throughout the system. The thermostat measures the temperature and can be set to automatically signal the other parts of the system to sustain a comfortable level of air temperature-that is, neither too warm nor too cold.



If any of the parts of this ventilation system has trouble functioning, comfort level and air quality would as well be compromised. A dysfunctional ventilation system can be easily detected even without installing an air quality monitoring apparatus in your vehicle. Everything is right under the tip of your nose.

If the car overheats whenever you turn on the air conditioner, check down the hood--there must be a problem with the cooling fan. If a sour musky smell fills the air as you turn on the air conditioner, molds and bacteria may have gotten to your ventilating system and it won't be good for both you and your car. It can mean that some part of the AC Condenser coils or tubes are blocked or obstructed with dirt or some hardened refrigerant particles. If the air smells of refrigerant, there must be a leak in your condenser coils and the AC will not function properly. If flushing it out doesn't work, you may have to find replacement for your AC Condenser.
