Main Climate Control

NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.

The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.

^ A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core inlet tube and is routed so it flows through the partitioned first three plate/fin sections.
^ The next four plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the other end of the A/C evaporator core.
^ Refrigerant then continues over to the remaining five plate/fin sections and then moves out of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
^ This S-pass flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator core.
^ The evaporator core cannot be replaced without the installation of a new evaporator housing.
