Evaporator Core: Description and Operation
Evaporator
The evaporator serves for cooling, dehumidifying and purifying the passenger compartment air.
The liquid refrigerant is injected into the evaporator under high pressure. Evaporators from the manufacturers Behr and Valeo are installed.
Behr: Conventional layout consisting of banks of tubes and louvers (models 129, 140, 170, 202 and 208)
Valeo: Conventional layout consisting of banks of tubes and louvers
The heat required for evaporation is absorbed from the air flowing past the evaporator cooling the air. The fins or louvers provide a large evaporator
surface ensuring quicker heat exchange.
The moisture condensing out of the air as it cools is drained out side through condensed water drain hoses. In addition the solid particles are removed
from the air by the condensing water purifying the air.
