Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
GF83.40-P-2188RT Condenser, Component Description
Component Identification
Location
The condenser is located behind the radiator grille, immediately in front of the radiator.
Task
The condenser transforms the state of aggregation of the refrigerant coming from the evaporator from gaseous into liquid.
Function
In the condenser, the hot coolant is pressed in from above, coming from the refrigerant compressor (A9). Coiled pipes and fins absorb this heat
extremely rapidly and give it off into the outside air flowing through the condenser.
This in turn cools the refrigerant. While the refrigerant is cooling down to a specific, pressure-sensitive temperature, the refrigerant condenses and is
liquified. The liquid refrigerant exits at the bottom of the condenser and flows into the fluid reservoir.
