How does the air conditioning work on Opel Mokka?

The air conditioning of your Opel Mokka functions in a very equivalent way to that of your fridge, the fact is, it works with a compressor and refrigerant gas system which, dependant on its state (liquid or gas) will produce cold. This system functions in a closed circuit. Here are the main parts that will make sure that the air conditioning of your Opel Mokka operates correctly:

  • The compressor: It is the principal element of your air conditioning system, it handles the pressure in your circuit and it will control the circulation of fluids in the circuit.
  • The condenser: this small coil has as goal, like a radiator, to enable the gas to decrease in temperature and come back to a liquid state (55 degrees).
  • The air blower and the evaporator: The heating blower will subject the pressurized liquid to a high temperature which will make it turn into gas and during this changeover will produce cold which will be directed into the passenger compartment by the evaporator.

In fact, this system functions in a closed circuit, and by creating variations in temperature and pressure, the refrigerant gas will be allowed to modify state, causing the production of heat or cold. You now know how the air conditioning of your Opel Mokka works.
