Our air conditioner will blow cold air, but the air pressure decreases dramatically after it is on the road for more than an hour. Stop for a while and it blows hard only to once again slow to a trickle. Any ideas?

Just like a window unit.(In a household)The evaporator coil is where the freon does its magic.The coils get cold as a ice cube and the as the air passes through it cools down.When restricted the air condensates and turns to moisture , and being on the coils , turns to ice.Thus the cloggage.
