condenser is another heat exchanger in car like radiator. condensers are as a series of tubes with fins around them. condenser’s job is to release heat. The refrigerant enters the condenser as a high-pressure vapor, but as it flows through the condenser and cools, it turns back into a cooler high-pressure liquid. read more

The condenser can be compared to a radiator in an engine cooling system: • The radiator releases heat from the hot engine coolant passing through it, to the atmosphere. • The condenser releases heat from the hot A/C system refrigerant passing through it, to the atmosphere. read more

The condenser is a heat ex-changer in the car A/C system. Condensers look very much like radiators, just a little thinner, and since they also depend on air flowing through them, are usually located in front of the radiator. read more
