A/C Condenser - Description






DESCRIPTION





The A/C condenser (1) is located in the front of the engine compartment behind the front fascia. The A/C condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant gas being discharged by the A/C compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over the condenser fins, which causes the refrigerant to cool and change to a liquid state.

The A/C condenser is equipped with two fittings for the integral automatic transmission cooler when equipped with an automatic transmission (2), fittings for the integral power steering cooler (3), tapping blocks for the A/C refrigerant lines (4), a tapping block for the receiver/drier (5) and integral mounting brackets (6).
