Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
Operation
OPERATION
When air passes through the fins of the A/C condenser, the high-pressure refrigerant gas within the A/C condenser gives up its heat. The refrigerant then
condenses as it leaves the A/C condenser and becomes a high-pressure liquid. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper
cooling performance of the A/C system. Therefore, it is important that there are no objects placed in front of the radiator grille openings at the front of
the vehicle or foreign material on the condenser fins that might obstruct proper air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or shrouds must be properly
reinstalled following radiator or A/C condenser service.
The A/C condenser cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
