Evaporator Core: Description and Operation
NOTE:
-
The evaporator core is not separately serviceable, it is serviced only with the evaporator core housing assembly.
-
Replacement of the 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 evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
-
A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core through the evaporator core inlet tube, and moves out of the evaporator
core through the evaporator core outlet tube.
-
This flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the evaporator core.
