Condenser
has the purpose to achieve the second heat exchange, where the refrigerant fluid
by condensation, is transmitting outside the abstracted heat. When coming out from the con-
denser, the refrigerant fluid is liquid, at high pressure.
The condenser is made of aluminum, Harrison type, with parallel flows.
It is mounted in front of the vehicle’s radiator in the front part of the vehicle and is ensuring the
abstraction of heat of the refrigerant fluid.
In order to grant the optimum condenser operation, its outside surfaces must be always clean
and air penetration not to be stopped. Also, the condenser pipes must not show deformations.
