Air conditioner disinfection. Why is it so important?
Maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the car is especially important during spring and summer trips. Efficient air conditioning ensures comfort and enhances safety. Running and poorly maintained can endanger the health of travelers.
Air conditioning has become an indispensable piece of equipment for every new car. This device not only cools his interior, but also dries the air, which helps to quickly and effectively restore the visibility of misted windows. These are not the only reasons why it is worth remembering about regular checks of the air conditioner and its disinfection in a professional service. Mold and bacteria infested can cause serious illness.
Ford Polska launches Air-conditioning Disinfection Pro campaign. – Periodic campaigns that we organize related to the inspection and disinfection of air conditioners are very popular among our customers. Most drivers are aware of the important role played by this element of vehicle equipment. On the other hand, realizing that this year is special due to the epidemiological threat, we have expanded the standard procedure for checking and cleaning the air conditioner with two important elements, explains Dariusz Lech, Director of Service and Parts for Ford Polska. .

As part of the “Disinfection of air conditioners Pro” operation, specialists will check the tightness of the air conditioner, check the operation of all functional units, and also test the technical performance and cooling capacity. There will also be disinfection of the evaporator and ozonation of the entire air conditioning system. In the case of an evaporator, the cleaning procedure is extremely important. This device is responsible, among other things, for absorbing heat from the car interior, evaporating refrigerant, maintaining an appropriate level of humidity and purifying the air. Regular disinfection of the entire air conditioning system ensures that the system is free from fungi and bacteria that are dangerous to the health of travelers - not only allergy sufferers. The cost of a full Ford service is PLN 199.
– It is worth adding that ozonation has so far been associated primarily with the removal of unpleasant odors by the owner of the vehicle, for example, from cigarette smoke. Nowadays, this service has become an indispensable element of keeping the car interior clean by removing germs from the car interior. Ozone in the right concentration destroys bacteria, viruses, allergens, as well as mites and fungi, adds Dariusz Lech.
The dust filter should also be checked and replaced during the annual air conditioning service - higher concentrations of contaminants inside the vehicle pose a health risk to the driver. You may experience fatigue, dizziness and headache, nausea, and allergic reactions. It is worth adding that allergy sufferers are at a 30% higher risk of infection. danger of a car accident - for example, sneezing at a speed of 80 km / h means driving 25 meters with your eyes closed.
