What You Need to Know about Your Car’s AC Condenser

You may better know the air conditioning condenser as the radiator. The condenser or radiator is what cools the engine. Gaseous refrigerant lets go of heat and return to a liquid state. Pro Car Removal Melbourne offers the following information on air conditioner condensers.

Firstly, the dashboard of the car helps the liquid refrigerant to cool the car via its evaporator inside the dash. When the condenser is clogged or failing the result may be a weak temperature from the car’s AC system. If the condenser leaks, this could also be the cause of a lack of cool air as coolant will be lost.

Signs that your condenser is failed

One sign that the condenser is bad is that when you turn on the AC, the air won’t reach the cool temperatures to cool the car. Your windows may also be foggy. To determine if there is a leak you can add an ultraviolet dye to the refrigerant. If there is gunk built up on the condenser’s front, try clearing off the gunk to see if it makes a difference.

When to replace your air conditioning condenser

Like other parts of your car’s AC system, as long as there is not a problem with the air temperature, it likely will not need to be replaced. It is suggested to have the condenser checked periodically to determine if there is damage or corrosion. An internal flush or external cleaning may be necessary.

Is it necessary to replace the condenser?

The condenser is part of the AC system, and without it, the AC for the car will not properly function. The condenser may require a cleaning that is done externally with a hose, or it may require an internal flush; however, replacement may be necessary.
