Everyone appreciates air conditioning on a hot summer day. It’s usually a good idea to keep your vehicle nice and cool before ever entering it, because the steering wheel can be too hot to touch or the seat might be too hot to sit on. Your aircon condenser is responsible for keeping your vehicle cool. The condenser looks and functions similarly to your radiator. Your condenser is always in front of the radiator. After passing through the engine, coolant reaches your radiator to provide heat. You have refrigerant gas in your condenser that enters the condenser to release the heat it has absorbed. The distinction between your radiator and condenser is that while coolant is a liquid, the condenser requires Freon gas to move around the inside of your vehicle. When vapor enters the AC condenser, it condenses into a liquid as it cools, which is why it is called a condenser. To modify Freon temperatures, the AC condenser uses moving air while driving or an air blowing fan employed by the radiator. During the warmer months, it is always a good idea to inspect your AC condenser for any leaks so that you have it when you need it.
