Air conditioning condensor
The air conditioning condensor is mounted on the front of your car, just behind the front bumper. The condensor
looks a bit like a
radiator , only a lot smaller. Simply put, it is an aluminum
car part in which tubes run from one side to the other. The condensor air
conditioning is part of the entire air conditioning of your car. In addition to
the condensor, the air conditioning consists of the
air conditioning compressor , the expansion valve , the air conditioning dryer and the air conditioning evaporator .
The air conditioning condensor
ensures that steam and other gases are condensed into a liquid, hence the name condensor.
The refrigerant is pumped from the air conditioning compressor at a high
pressure to the condensor air conditioning. This refrigerant is then cooled
with the aid of wind and possibly an
air conditioning fan . This cooling ensures
that the gas is converted into a liquid, which is then pumped to the air
conditioning dryer.
Faulty air conditioning condensor
The air conditioning condensor can
malfunction for various reasons. For example, mechanical damage to the car part
can occur. Mechanical damage can be caused by a hard object hitting the front
of your car. Since the condensor is located just behind the front bumper, the condensor
can also take a hit and fail. In addition, damage can occur because you
regularly drive on rough terrain or a bad road surface. Furthermore, the condensor
air conditioning can start to leak, this can be due to damage to the pipeline
or because the seals no longer function sufficiently. A condensor can also fail
because there is too little refrigerant present. But also weather conditions
and brine, dirt and stone chips can cause this car part to malfunction. Among
other things, the fins can corrode or the condensor can become clogged or
damaged.
You can recognize a defective air
conditioning condensor by a few points. First, you will notice that the air
conditioning system loses pressure when you turn it on, which will then cause
it to leak. If the entire
air conditioning of your car no longer works, this
can also be due to a defective air conditioning condensor. If this car part
turns out to be defective, we recommend that you replace it as soon as
possible!
Replace air conditioning condensor
If the air conditioning condensor is
defective, you will have to replace it as soon as possible. Because there are
various gases in the air conditioning condensor with an extremely high
pressure, it is difficult to replace the air conditioning condensor yourself.
Would you like to do as much as possible yourself? Then you can have the condensor
pressure tested at a garage. You can then replace the air conditioning condensor
yourself. After that you will have to go back to the garage to have it filled
with refrigerant. But, you can also choose to order an affordable condensor air
conditioning from us and then have it replaced at the garage. This way you can
still save some costs.
