ACmobil is a vital component. The reason is, this component plays a role in driving comfort.
The presence of AC makes the temperature in the cabin cooler. But sometimes, AC can make drivers and passengers uncomfortable.
This is because the AC emits an unpleasant odor so that passengers feel disturbed.
Reporting from Daihatsu Indonesia, there are at least 7 reasons why a car AC can emit an unpleasant odor.
1. Cigarette Smoke
Cigarette smoke can cause an unpleasant odor in the car cabin. This is because cigarette smoke that evaporates in the car cabin has the potential to cause odors to stick to the ceiling, dashboard and car carpet.
Cigarette smoke can last a long time in the car cabin, even if it has been cleaned.
2. Leaking evaporator
This evaporator leak causes the AC to emit an unpleasant odor. Usually this leak is caused because the evaporator is dirty because it is clogged with dirt.
3. The AC filter is too dirty
Drivers who rarely clean the AC filter can actually trigger an unpleasant odor in the car cabin.
4. The car perfume used is high in alcohol
High alcohol levels in perfume can trigger a strong sour smell. This of course makes the AC in the car emit an unpleasant odor.
5. There is an animal carcass in the cabin
Several animal carcasses are often found in cars that are rarely used. Usually, some animals such as lizards, mice, cockroaches that are often found are already in carcass form.
6. Dirty car carpet
Car carpets that are rarely cleaned and dirty also cause the AC to emit an unpleasant odor. Because dirt and dust from the carpet mix and rotate with the air in the cabin.
7. AC Freon that is almost out
AC Freon that is almost out also causes the car AC to smell. This happens because the AC compressor continues to work even though the freon has run out so that the AC does not emit cold air and only emits air when it is on.
