Valeo AC Condensor 822689

An AC condenser in a car is a crucial component of the air conditioning system. It is responsible for cooling and condensing the refrigerant vapor to a liquid state. The primary function of the AC condenser is to dissipate heat from the hot refrigerant, allowing it to return to a cooled state. The condenser is typically located at the front of the vehicle, where it is exposed to incoming air for optimal cooling.

When the air conditioning system is activated, the refrigerant enters the AC condenser as a high-pressure vapor. As air passes over the condenser fins, the heat from the refrigerant is transferred to the surrounding air, causing the vapor to condense into a liquid. The cooled liquid refrigerant then continues through the system, where it undergoes further cooling and expansion to provide cold air to the interior of the car. Without a properly functioning AC condenser, the air conditioning system would not be able to effectively cool the air, resulting in poor performance and discomfort during hot weather conditions.
