Condenser
—
Fig.
23
The condenser is mounted in front of the radiator
and functions much like a radiator, using outside
air to remove the heat from the refrigerant vapor
passing through it. By removing the heat, the
vapor changes to a liquid to be recycled again. A
condenser consists of inlet and outlet connections,
a core of aluminium or steel, and mounting
provisions.
Evaporator — Fig. 24
The evaporator is mounted within the A/C box
behind the dashboard, using the fans to absorb the
heat from within the car and transferring it to the
liquid/gas within the pipes.
Accumulator
—
Fig. 25
The accumulator-dehydrator separates the liquid
refrigerant from the vapor. The liquid will remain in
the cylinder, while the vapor passes on into the
compressor. An oil bleed hole insures that there is
a minimum entrapment of oil in the accumulator.
This unit also removes small traces of moisture and
sediment that may be in the system.
