OEM Kia A/C & Heating Parts

When you're heading out for the day, you can expect to be exposed to all sorts of weather. Your Kia vehicle has a factory-installed HVAC system in place to keep you and your passengers comfortable no matter how hot or cold it is outside.

How HVAC Works

Cooling involves many parts working together. The refrigerant is pressurized by a compressor and turned into a hot gas. The condenser cools that gas down, returning it to a liquid. At that point the liquid runs through an expansion valve, which converts it to a gas again – but at a low pressure. Finally, the evaporator cools the gas down, with a fan blowing the resulting cool air into your passenger space via the air vents.

Heating is much simpler. Hot coolant is drawn from the engine and into a heater core. A front-mounted fan blows over the core's fins, directing the warm air into your cabin space.

Learn the Signs of HVAC Trouble

Unfortunately, even the best HVAC system parts can fail. Signs of this include:

• You notice the sweet smell of coolant in the air
• You can't keep a consistent cabin temperature
• The cabin air feels swampy
