Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation

GF83.40-P-2188MCC Condenser, Component Description
- with CODE (I01) Air conditioning Plus







1 Capacitor

Location
The condenser is located behind the radiator grille, immediately in front of the radiator.

Task
The compressed refrigerant is cooled in the condenser. This changes the state of the matter from gaseous to liquid.

Function
The hot coolant coming from the refrigerant compressor is pressed upwards into the condenser. Coiled pipes and fins absorb this heat extremely rapidly and give it off into the outside air flowing through the condenser.
This serves to cool the refrigerant.

As the refrigerant cools, the refrigerant condenses and turns to a liquid. As it flows through the desiccant cartridge mounted directly onto the condenser, the refrigerant is cleaned of chemical and mechanical impurities.
