its a sweltering 32c fortut nately with your air- conditioning on its a comfortable 24c inside the car for many people air con ditioning is a must have option air conditioning works on the principle that evaporating fluid takes heat out of the air the refrig erant vapour is first compressed to liquefy it then it evaporates this chills and dehumidifies the air com ing into the car or the refrigerant that has been used with great success over the years has been frebn or r12 however rtl2as a chlorofluo- rocarbprij has been partly responsi ble for depletion of the ozone layer in the last couple of years car man ufacturers have converted to r 134a a hydrofluorocarbon that is much less harmful to the environ ment if you have an older car it may be possible to convert your air con ditioning to r134a ask your car service provider about conversion kits- -l- if not you should be aware that r12 is no longer being manufacl tured while stocks are available their use is tightly controlled and a great deal of care is taken to pre vent leaks arid spills to protect the ozone layer- a number of provinces completely prohibit the use of r- 12 v you should have your air condi tioning system checked at least once a year to make sure it has no leaks seals and belts are in good shape and its running efficiently- as it cools the air conditioning system also takes moisture out of the air the air conditioning is usu ally coupled with the windshield defrost so that it will cleev the win dow more quickly there is always a concern when you walk towards your car and see a pool of something- underneath in summer dont panic your air con ditioner takes water out of the air and it drains onto the ground so if you have been driving with the air conditioning on and then you park probably see the water draining from the air condi tioner as you walk away and apud- dle under your car when you return if the puddle doesnt look like water then its okay to panic some people are concerned about the fuel economy penalty of air conditioning its true that when you use the air conditioning at fullblast in city driving you pay a price perhaps as much as 15 to 20 per cent increase in your fuel consumption when you look at it over the course of a years driving though its much less significant the annu al fuel consumption penalty is less than five per cent probably more like two per cent most people consider that a small price to pay for being able to chill out in the summer v iir wawyvvvy t k i wbgjj
