Air Conditioning is the unsung automotive hero on a hot day… sometimes it’s great to feel the wind in your hair, but sometimes you need that blast of COLD AC! We talk about compressors and evaporators and all the great stuff under the hood that helps you stay cool. Heck, we even recharge a system to get that cool cool air on our face.
Bart teaches us how cars work buy blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

*Chooses to talk about A/C just before the winter season begins*
Well they're in Cali and winter obviously isn't a thing there👀
You do have a valid point here...🤔
You obviously do not live in California.
I run the AC when it's cold outside. The compressor puts load on the engine, increasing engine warmup speed. The AC system also dries the air, so the windshield won't get foggy.
Speak for yourself, where I live in Australia we had a 42C day, that's about 107F.
“Just like a parents love for a child refrigerant doesn’t last forever”
GotGoldGT which is a lie, in a sealed system you should never have to add refrigerant. The stuff takes 100 years to break down in the atmosphere.
Funny, because Bart is expecting a child (or probably already born at the time of making this vid) lol

Today my physics lesson the dude was teaching ac, home use ac, but pretty much the same shit. And that dude was talking trashly and made us all confused. And while I was about to search a vid to see how it works, there came Donuts. I love you guys.

Honestly physics is such a fun class. Absolutely loved when we got into electricity and magnetism. Rather learn about that stuff over a boring English class any day.
How weird my physics teacher also talked about ac today

Bro, u can do that. Everytime u floor it cools it more. Not many slow drivers and when u let off u hear the blow off and it makes ur car even cooler😂😂
@@mohammedarbazqasim7069 Precisely.
If your A/C is low it is because there is a leak. Refrigerant doesn't just disappear thats why it takes 7 years for it to dissipation in the atmosphere. Also that bottle you bought at pep boys doesn't contain any refrigerant at all. You need a licence to purchase refrigerant. That bottle will make your ac blow cold temporarily, but it can also damage your A/C system since the oil in the system is carried by the refrigerant, and when there is none the compressor will get very unhappy. Many shops will use a gas analyzer to identify the bull shit from that can in the system and then tell you to go to another shop because connecting their A/C machine will contaminate it.
I have to disagree on your point about needing a license. You can go into Walmart and buy a can of R134a (automobile and appliance refrigerant) all day long. No license required. You do, however, need an EPA card to purchase refrigerants such as R22, R410, R404 ...etc.
@@davidb7180 As far as I know as of 2018 you need a licence to get anymore than 2 lbs of r134a in the US. Most other countries care a little more about the environment and have very strict guidelines on all sales of refrigerants, and repair of A/C systems.
YUP
License required here in Canada
I was shocked when he recommended topping it up..the shit doesn’t go bad unless you have a problem I.e refrigerant leak. Promoting hack repair jobs. Do it right
Legends say that this was the last science garage episode on Donut media ever.
You make learning fun and hilarious. Never change, Bart!
He's literally changed in this video
Any idea why their aren’t any more Science Garage episode? Did he left Donut?
my neighbor would add refrigerant to his car every month. we told him he has a leak but he insisted it was burning it instead of leaking it... he was crazy dumb. he could had fixed it properly with the money he spends on the monthly refrigerant top offs
There's one thing AC can't do but quarter glass can.. And that's blow air at your crotch.
Has his compressor seized already? Unless you replenish the oil too any compressor will die very quickly when treated that way
I miss this guy. He was hilarious!!
Did he leave the group?

My eyes...
Donut media is really a mechanic school for me😂. Everytime I want to know about car this channel have everything about it.
I love this guy talking about cars so much. He has just the right kind of humor I love.
It would have been useful to mention that Evaporators are installed inside the dashboard and in 99% of cars you have to remove the dash to replace it (Or even reach for it). Great Video!
Well, in my case it's just a matter of removing a handful of bolts, and then you can pull the evaporator box from under the footwell. I could do the whole job blindfolded (except for the refrigerant recovery).
Bart was very *chill* in this episode.
"We're going to let it discharge......(eeewwww)"
That's exactly why I love this channel
Queen stuff in video, 11/10
I thout AC meant ass compressor . Smarter every day
Mace close, I thought it meant ass condenser.
No no no, you guys are both wrong, "AC" stands for Arse Conflagration. Here's how it should be used in a sentence: "I went to a hot dog eating contest and slathered the meat-tube in scotch bonnet peppers, after the contest I had an AC in the porta-potty"
Anodyne Melody I think your definition is wrong. If I’m not mistaken I believe AC stands for “Anal Contortion”
@@trentpatrick4727 My definition stands but is the British English definition of the acronym "AC", but in American English it's "Anal Contortion", so according to the Oxford Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of American English, we're both correct. ;)
Anodyne Melody ahh that makes more sense. If you’ll excuse me I’m in the process of an AC as I’m writing this comment.
AC is a luxury item to most people with old cars.
I yank them all out, race car all the time.
"32 is the temperature that water freezes... In America!" Hahaha.
Contrary to popular belief, refrigerant doesn’t get “used up” it just leaks. Ac systems are supposed to be sealed systems and sometimes they leak from wear.
His legs woke up my inner gay
Looolll
From what I learned in auto school, A/C does not run out, it does not "go low eventually" and it should not ever need to be serviced unless something breaks, also no foreign materials should ever make it's way inside the system. If it's not blowing cold air, take it in for repairs, something is wrong. Mind you, I had a 1993 Ford Escort with A/C (surprisingly) and it blew awesome cold air using the old R34 refrigerant all the way up until I had to put a new engine in the car in 2010. I'm quite sure the A/C has never been serviced in that car before that, everything looked original. So no, don't bother buying a recharge kit, waste of money, you have a leak that needs to be addressed.
The molecules in R134 are small enough to leak through the rubber hoses, so yes it can go low. Plus, the compressor shaft seal can wear and leak freon.
Those "self service" AC pro kits suck because they usually contain a stop leak fluid in them, which is a pain to get out of condensers when your mechanic actually goes to fix it.
@Elon Blunt Went to school less than 10 years ago, still modern cars buddy. Mind telling me WHAT you had serviced on your car at 75,000 miles? What'd they do?
@@dangerrangerlstc I really find it hard to believe the modern car is engineered with rubber that's incapable of containing molecules in R134 or whatever fluid/gas they're designed to contain for that matter. Mind you, rubber can be formed and treated to withstand a variety of different substances under a variety of different pressures. And yeah, a leaky seal would be a reason to have it serviced, a reason it's a leaking, a reason that a recharge kit ain't gonna fix. In fact if the kit has this stop leak you're talking about, that's only gonna make matters worse later like you said.
Only way you ever need to add any is if you have a leak
@Elon Blunt A perfect system never needs to be recharged, household and commercial systems will run the same refrigerants for 30+ years easily. That being said, cars use hoses with fittings that tend to leak eventually due to movement/flexing. As long as the pressure within the lines are higher than atmospheric (14.7 PSI) little to no contaminants should enter the system, so this is where you can "top up the freon". If the entire system loses its charge then it has to be properly fixed, or you're just going to likely end up hurting the compressor making your repair bill even more because air [that is saturated with water], cannot be compressed! Basically automakers suggest getting this looked at during scheduled services because there is a fair chance that a fitting somewhere has/is leaking. Source: I'm an HVAC/R tech.

Bart is by far my fav Donut dude. Perfect combination of drugs, jokes, and science. Bravo!
“I’m gonna let it discharge!”

Need to bring this show back
this video popped up in my recommended today and for a second, I thought Donut brought back Science Garage.
i wouldn't have watched the whole thing if it wasnt for this dude, he makes it so much better
Could you talk about the different kinds of refrigerants there is. A lot of new cars are starting to have R1234YF instead of R134a
Couple small corrections,
-Nowadays car A/C systems use HFCs (HFC-134a) rather than HCFCs (which you normally find in old central/window A/C units, I.E. HCFC-22). HFCs are soon to be phased out in favor of HFOs in car A/C.
-The condenser is in front of the radiator, not behind it. So DIY guys, don't unbolt the thing in the front when trying to change engine coolant.
-Car A/C systems do over time leak a small amount of refrigerant over time, but it normally isn't enough to lessen effectiveness in the system. If a significant amount of refrigerant is lost in a short amount of time, then you have a leak. I don't recommend using A/C sealers because they have a habit of clogging stuff, use UV leak dye instead to find then fix the leak. Also be sure to use the proper refrigerant type, there's a sticker underneath the hood indicating the proper type.
Other than that, good video and solid explanation.
Dude that joke about queen and pressure for me it was hilarious hehe Good Job 👏
Dang. I had to get certified by ASE and MACS to service auto a/c. Btw, "A/c Pro" has a chemical sealant in it which ruins most o- rings in the system as well as the $5k industrial machines that are used for service. Don't use it ⚠️⚠️
I totally cringed too. No professional mechanic will use that crap. Horrible advice to add Freon if your AC is warm and see what happens. Fun video for the layman, but a few inaccuracies.
Hey Bart. Can you please do a video about Resonators?
5:58 Those packets in beef jerky are a mix of table salt and iron filings. They're only a dessicant in the sense that the tiny amount of salt absorbs some if the moisture in the jerky to start rusting the iron. The rust absorbs any oxygen in the bag of jerky, keeping bacteria from breathing.
