Abstract
A method for drying an evaporator of a vehicle air conditioner comprises closing an air duct after cooling of the vehicle air conditioner is stopped, operating the heating core and the fan, so as to generate, by means of the heating core and the fan, hot air which can circulate in the air duct. During circulation, the hot air carries away condensed water precipitated on a surface of the evaporator core for conversion into hot and humid air. The method includes directly venting the hot and humid air from the air duct to exterior environment, so that the evaporator core is dried. The method can implement the drying of the evaporator with high-efficiency and low energy consumption.
