Condenser HVAC: Testing and Inspection

Condenser

Check a) condenser tins for blockage, b) condenser fillings for leakage, and c) condenser fins for damage.

Clogged condenser fins should be washed with water, and should be dried with compressed air.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage condenser fins. If condenser fin is bent, straighten it by using a screwdriver or pair of pliers. If any leakage is found from fitting or tube, repair or replace condenser.
