Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
A/C CONDENSER CORE
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required 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 fins and tubes to extract heat and condense refrigerant gas to liquid refrigerant as it
is cooled.
