Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Whenever an A/C condenser core is replaced, it is also necessary to replace the suction accumulator/drier.
The A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:
-
It is an aluminum fin and tube design heat exchanger located in front of 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.
