Hans Imports INC: Your Truck or Car's AC System
At Hans Imports INC we understand how your AC system works. Your car or truck's AC system uses a Freon gas type refrigerant for cooling. For automotive applications, Freon is refined into tetrafluoroethane, a non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive gas called R134a. The ability of the refrigerant gas to change its physical properties into a liquid as it is compressed and condensed keeps you cool on hot summer days.

If your AC system starts blowing warm air come by the store at 7275 Post Rd and talk with one of our auto parts specialists to determine what parts you need to get your AC working again.
Your AC compressor is the auto part responsible for compressing the refrigerant R134a. When it is compressed it becomes very hot. Because hot is the opposite of what drivers want in an AC system, the refrigerant must be cooled.
R134a is cooled by your car AC condenser. This auto part is a series of coils that look very similar to a radiator. Just like a radiator, outside air passes over the condenser to remove the heat from the compressed gas. It is then condensed into a very wet cold liquid. The receiver-drier absorbs excess moisture from the liquid. Next, your AC filter traps debris within the liquid that can cause clogging in your car's AC system. Call 401-295-7785 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right compressor, condenser or receiver drier to fit your car or truck.
At this point, the refrigerant liquid is still under too much pressure. The expansion valve and orifice tube take over and force the refrigerant to change from a high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist before it enters the evaporator.
As the low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist flows through the evaporator, a blower motor pushes air across the cold tubes of the evaporator and cooled dry air flows into the passenger compartment of the automobile. The accumulator is a holding tank for the refrigerant as it exits the evaporator. While the refrigerant is circulating inside, the accumulator removes any moisture that may be present.
Call 401-295-7785 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right expansion value, orifice tube, and evaporator to fit your car or truck.

I've trusted Hans Imports on Post Road in North Kingstown with my vehicles for multiple repairs & services and I can't recommend them highly enough. Dave and Omar are proof that old-school, honest, exceptional customer service still exists. Over the years they've taken care of everything from a broken turbo strap on my 2013 VW Eos and my 90,000-mile service to diagnosing and replacing a failed fuel pump. There was even another repair recently that I can't remember....that's how consistently they've been my first call whenever something comes up. Every time, the work has been done right, the communication has been excellent, and I've never felt like I was being sold repairs I didn't need. That's tough to find these days. As a full-time wedding photographer, my vehicle isn't just transportation, it's my livelihood. Summer is my busiest season, and being without a reliable vehicle simply isn't an option. Knowing I can count on Dave and Omar to get me back on the road quickly and correctly gives me tremendous peace of mind. They REALLY pulled me out of a major jam last week and I'm eternally grateful. I don't think any other shop in Rhode Island would have done what they did for me! If you're looking for knowledgeable mechanics who genuinely care about their customers and stand behind their work, Hans Imports is the place to go. Honest, dependable, and incredibly skilled. The kind of service that's becoming harder and harder to find. Bonus: there's always a lot of fun, laughter, and a cute dog that likes to be pet at the shop!
The best part of owning an aging British car was knowing Omar & Dave would help in a pinch. They are truly passionate about cars and helping people and the reports they produce after any service are repair are like university dissertations. Their passion for cars shows through, and they have never failed to be thorough and honest with us - including letting us know when it was time to stop throwing good money after bad and retire our car. We are very grateful to them and couldn't recommend Hans Imports enough.
