Visable Air from A/C

[steelman23]

is it normal to see the air blowing out of the a/c? it looked almost like a dry-ice smoke. and it was only blowing out of the driver side air vent. mind you it was 24C (75F) this morning. this was the first time ive seen this....

should i be worried and get this checked out?

you've got the additional feature... fog machine! Now all you need to do is replace the ceiling lamp for a disco ball




on a side note
I've never had that happen

God, YES!

Also, water vapor.

i've never seen this in a car's a/c before but i did see those portable a/c that blew out very cold air and you can see it too. maybe you have a supercharged a/c system in your car lol

You must have gotten the James Bond package. That is actually Sarin Gas to deter car theft.

An explanation from the Web:

That stuff's just fog. If you set the circulator vent open and let humid air into the AC system that's been running, that air will cool down and the water vapor will condense before the dehumdifier can remove the moisture from the air. It should clear up in a minute or two as the moist air is vented out and replaced by dry air.

lol what a bunch of jokers...

thanks scathma. makes sense. i wasnt really worried, just curious. thanks again.

My buddies WRX used to do that.. It's air density vs. humity , happens most when its really humid out and the air temp is just right

[trucknut1]

normal... varies with humidity level as others have said, my Tacoma used to do it all the time

[hungt1999]

yes it is normal if the humidity in the air is really high, the humidity condenses and that explains why you see fog blowing out of the vents

Its the cold air hitting the warm humid air. If it is only on warm humid wet days, then this is normal and you AC is working well. If it is all the time then you might have a problem. I have had the same situation myself.

I want that visible vapour....so i can have a colder AC
