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 (2) for the refrigerant lines, an integral automatic transmission fluid cooler (3) with quick-connect fittings (4) for the transmission fluid cooler lines (5) when equipped with an automatic transaxle, mounting brackets (6) that attach the condenser to the radiator (7) and an integral receiver/drier (8) with a replaceable desiccant and filter assembly (9).

The A/C condenser may be removed for service without removing the radiator from the vehicle.
