The A/C system is made up of different parts that operate together to maintain the interior cabin cool. The A/C hose makes the transfer of the refrigerant to the A/C system's components easier.
A/C hose operationThe air conditioning hose is composed of a special high-pressure hose with a fitting on each end made of aluminum. The aluminum fittings are placed on both ends to prevent any leaking. The main function of the hose is to send refrigerant from the engine-installed A/C compressor to the components of the A/C system so the refrigerant can cool the air.
Common problems with a bad A/C hoseA bad A/C hose can cause physical damage to the hose, leaking, and the A/C won't function properly.
