Best Answer

In an Air conditioning unit, the evaporator is what is used to cool the air before it is blown out into the surrounding environment. It uses liquid refrigerant which is at a much lower pressure then the surrounding air and sucks the heat out of the air, thereby cooling it ready to be blown out.

If the engine overheats will this drain the air conditioning?

The air conditioning is a separate system from the cooling system and will not be affected by overheating, however if the overheating problem is associated with an inoperative cooling fan or a blockage in the air flow through the radiator and evaporator then the system will not cool properly.


What does the evaporator do in an air conditioning system?

The evaporator transforms the refrigerant from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and also causes it to absorb heat drawn from the vehicle's passenger compartment and transfer that heat to the outside air.
