Causes of fogging of the glass

Natural phenomenon:

• The effect of condensation: the glass is covered with condensation, which occurs due to the interaction of warm air in the cabin and cold air outside. This process is intensified in winter, when the temperature difference is most noticeable.
• Increased humidity in the cabin: rain or snow on the car floor mats leads to the accumulation of excess moisture, contributing to the formation of condensation and, as a result, fogging of the windows.

Related to malfunctions:

• Interior filter malfunctions: a faulty or improperly functioning interior filter does not absorb excess moisture, leaving it in the interior and contributing to fogging of the windows.
• Broken air intake valve: If the air intake valve is broken, it can lead to fogging of the glass.
• Broken valve timing sensor: If the valve timing sensor has failed, this could also be the cause.

Another reason for fogging is the presence of people in a state of alcohol intoxication in the interior of a car. The hot air exhaled by a person who is in such a state contributes to the condensation of moisture on the windows, which leads to the formation of fogging.

Recommendations

To prevent fogging of the windows in the car, it is necessary to ensure effective ventilation and air circulation, keep the windows clean and avoid accumulation of moisture in the cabin. For this, it is recommended:

Maintenance of the ventilation system:

1. Regularly monitor the condition of the cabin filter, cleaning it and, if necessary, replacing it.
2. Avoid the presence of moisture in the cabin by monitoring the condition and cleanliness of the windows.

Methods of preventing moisture accumulation:

1. Wipe the glass regularly with a clean, damp sponge.
2. Prevent wet clothes in the cabin by using moisture-absorbing car floor mats.

Use of anti-fogs:

1. Consider using anti-fog sprays that form a water-repellent film on the glass.
2. Apply the anti-fog on a clean and dry glass surface.

When choosing an anti-fog, pay attention to its long-term effectiveness to effectively protect windows from fogging.
