HVAC Systems (Service Information): Plumbing: Condenser-A/C: Description
NOTE:
Typical A/C condenser shown in illustration.
The A/C condenser (1) is located in the front of the engine compartment behind the grille. 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 tapping blocks for the A/C discharge line and the A/C liquid line (2) and mounting provisions for the power steering cooler (3), when equipped.
