Did
You Know...
It used to be that cars and trucks had separate
fresh air intakes that allowed air to pass directly
from the front of the vehicle to the passenger
compartment. Today, other than through windows,
there is usually only one way for fresh air
to enter your car--through the auto ventilation
system, which includes the auto air conditioner.
Therefore, all the air that enters your car
flows through an evaporator core very similar
to the one below.
When you run your ventilation system either
for heating or cooling, air passes through the
evaporator core. When cooling,
moisture from the air is removed by the evaporator
core. This moisture accumulates in the evaporator
core chamber where most of it is dumped to the
ground through a drain. However, some water
may still remain. In other words, the chamber
and the evaporator can stay wet. Because this
area is dark, wet and inevitably dirty, these
are IDEAL BREEDING CONDITIONS for mold and mildew
to flourish! When heating,
although you have dry conditions. Spores and
other fine debris that have accumulated are
continually being blown into your enclosed driving
environment. In addition, external air carries
all kinds of material with it as it enters your
vehicle including dust, oil droplets, exhaust
vapors, insects, mold spores, pollens and bacteria.
This debris accumulates on the evaporator core.
Under such conditions, mold and bacteria colonies
are nurtured and further contaminate the air
in the vehicle. Look at the accumulation of
debris in the illustration below. This can happen
in a very short time!
Before DWD2
If your vehicle smells like dirty socks or a damp basement,
your personal environment is CONTAMINATED. When you or a mechanic
sprays air freshener into the vents or inside the vehicle, you
only MASK the odor. The contaminants still remain. Nothing has
been solved.
During DWD2
The cleaning solution must be able to reach the entire evaporator
core starting from the intake side. To accomplish this you can?t
just spray something into the chamber. The cleaning material
must fill the chamber from top to bottom. In a liquid form this
is impossible. The liquid would flow through the bottom of the
evaporator and out the drain. Therefore, we must use foam. The
foam fills the chamber when it is injected and then the fan
blows the CLEANING FOAM through the entire evaporator and pushing
the debris along with it.
After DWD2
It is quick and easy! The photo is the same evaporator as above
after being cleaned with DWD2 Evaporator Cleaner. It?s
obvious, if your evaporator core doesn?t look like this,
you and your passengers will be breathing contaminated air.
You may only smell it while using the air conditioner, but until
you flush it out, it can affect your health all year long. Protect
yourself, schedule a cleaning with DWD2 Evaporator Cleaner at
least twice each year.
