Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
A/C Condenser Core
NOTE: Whenever an A/C condenser core is replaced, it is also necessary to replace the suction accumulator/drier.
The A/C condenser core 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 by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled. The A/C condenser core inlet and
outlet connections are the male fitting of a tube O-ring fitting.
