Evaporator Core

Evaporator Core

NOTE: The evaporator core is not separately serviceable. It is serviced only with the evaporator core housing assembly.

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

The evaporator core is the plate/fin type.

- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core through the evaporator core inlet tube and then moves out of the evaporator core through the evaporator core outlet tube as a vapor.
- All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core and, during A/C operation, is cooled and dehumidified.
- The evaporator core is located in the evaporator core housing at the RH rear of the engine compartment.
