A/C Condenser/Power Steering Combo Cooler

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The A/C condenser/power steering combo cooler is an aluminum fin-and-tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator. It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.

The receiver/drier is incorporated onto the LH side of the condenser core. The receiver/drier cartridge is a separate component and can be removed and installed separately from the condenser core.

The top portion of the condenser/power steering combo cooler is partitioned from the refrigerant system and is used for power steering fluid cooling.
