Honda Civic Condenser
About Condenser
Condenser is an integral part of the air conditioning system fitted in your vehicle. The high pressure refrigerant from the AC compressor is pumped into the condenser through a refrigerant line. Located next to the radiator, the condenser transforms high pressure and high temperature gas into high pressure slightly lower temperature liquid, which is needed for the A/C function.
What is the purpose of Condenser?
The main purpose of the AC condenser is to convert the refrigerant coming from the compressor from a high temperature and high pressure vapor into a high pressure liquid through the process of condensation. It is a very essential part for the working of your car air conditioning system.
How Condenser Works?
In the systems like air conditioner unit which involves heat exchange, a condenser is a component that used to condense a gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state through cooling. In the condenser fitted in vehicle's air conditioning system gaseous refrigerant sheds heat and returns to a liquid state and the liquid refrigerant flows to the evaporator inside the dashboard, where it cools the cabin. The refrigerant vapor is compressed by the compressor and then forced through a heat exchange coil, condensing it into a liquid and rejecting the heat previously absorbed from the cool indoor area.
Where is Condenser Located?
The condenser is one of several parts that work together to form a vehicle's AC system. The AC condenser somehow looks like a radiator, but relatively a bit smaller. Although every vehicle is designed and configured a little differently. The condenser is usually fitted slightly under the vehicle's grill and the radiator located right behind it.
