System Components: Condenser

The condenser with integrated receiver/drier is installed in front of the radiator. The receiver/drier is a replaceable unit, located in a threaded housing at the lower end and retained by a plastic bracket at the top.

The condenser is a heat exchanger similar to the radiator and evaporator. It transfers heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding air to convert the vapor from the compressor into a liquid.
