What you should know about Automotive air conditioning:
Unless your car is one of the latest models, its air conditioning system uses a refrigerant called R12 containing fluorocarbons (CFC'S).
It is important to operate the air conditioner at least 5 minutes every week to prevent the system seals from drying out and leaking this ozone-depleting substance into the atmosphere.

All new cars use a CFC free refrigerant known as R134a which is far less damaging to the environment.

Here's how your car's air conditioning system operates:

• The refrigerant is contained under pressure in a receiver/dryer. The system must
  be recharged with refrigerant when a low level is indicated
• The refrigerated cold air passes through the evaporator where it mixes with warm
  air from inside the car. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs the heat
• The cooled and evaporated air is returned to the car and circulated via your blower
• The vapourised refrigerant, meantime passes into the compressor where it is
  pressurised once more
• The pressurised refrigerant is force into the condenser coils where the
  refrigerant condenses back into liquid form to repeat the cycle once more
