There is no doubt that the summer season brings with it very hot days that make you think a lot about doing your errands by car, especially if your car's air conditioning system is having issues or the air it is providing is not cool enough.
If your car's air conditioning system is not cold enough, you won't be able to endure driving in high temperatures, especially above 35 °C, because the cooling system cools the car's interior and makes you feel comfortable.

Tips to increase the coolness of your car's air conditioner
Here are some important tips to increase the coolness of your car's air conditioning system:
Park your car in shade
Car experts say that the first thing you should do to get cold air from your car's air conditioner quickly is to park your car in a place with shade or away from direct sunlight, such as a garage, under a tree, in the shadow of a building, or anything that blocks the sun's rays or glare from the car, such as an umbrella on the windshield; because the heat inside your car will be high, and it will be difficult for you to cool it quickly, especially if your car is old.
Use the recirculation mode
One of the most effective ways to speed up the cooling process is to use the air recirculation mode, which when you press the button closes the outside air intake and recirculates the cooler air inside your car to cool the car faster.
Replace the A/C air filter
The function of the cabin filter or air conditioner filter is to clean and filter the air from dirt and dust before it enters the car cabin, if the filter is clogged or damaged, it will affect the air flow and strength, in addition to its coolness as well, so you must constantly check the air conditioner filter and clean it or replace it with a new and original one, and do not replace it with a cheap, non-original or unsuitable filter for your car.

Check the amount of refrigerant
If you feel that the coolness of your car's air conditioning system is no longer as cold as before, there is a possibility that there may have been a decrease in the amount of refrigerant gas in the system, and a gas leak may occur, due to the age of the car or one of the hoses got damage and connections, the gas is responsible for the cooling process, and if its quantity decreases, the coolness will definitely decrease.
Check the compressor
The compressor is one of the most important components of the cooling system, it works to compress the refrigerant gas to convert it from its gaseous state to liquid to become cold in order to cool the car, if the compressor is damaged or malfunctioning, the gas compression process will be wrong or completely failed and the cold air will not enter the car, or it may be cold but not the required degree of cold.
Check the condenser
The condenser is also an important part of the air conditioning system, it is responsible for drawing heat from the refrigerant, and if the condenser is not working properly, it may not do its job efficiently and the refrigerant remains hot or not cold enough, which affects the coolness of the air that comes out of the air conditioning vents inside the car.

Seal any leaks in windows and doors
It is known that any leakage of cold air from inside the cabin, whether from windows or doors, will reduce the cooling efficiency a lot and the air conditioner air will become hot; because the cabin will not be able to retain cold air and will be overwhelmed by the external heat, so try to close all places of leakage, especially the rubber on the windows.
Don't choose the coldest degree directly
It is wrong to choose the maximum cooling temperature immediately after starting the car, especially when the weather is very hot, as the system will take time to cool down the car in high temperatures and running it at the maximum is unnecessary, and it is better to open the windows and move the car in a good distance before turning on the air conditioner so that the cabin atmosphere is ready to receive the cool air from the air conditioner.
Don't forget the regular maintenance of the system
Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the air conditioning system and ensure that it works without any issues, as this system contains many components that must be ready to work at any time, it must be trouble-free to ensure not only the system works, but also to get fresh cool air in the summer and at different seasons.
