Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not necessary when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of
system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
The A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:
^
It is an aluminum fin-and-tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
^
It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over the fins and tubes to extract heat and by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is
cooled.
