The condenser fan moves air across the hot condenser coil. This transfers heat from the hot refrigerant to the cooler ambient air. A fan is not required, but the heat transfer surface would have to be multiple times larger to cause the needed amount of heat transfer.
Your air conditioning condensor is located in front of your radiator
When air conditioning or front defroster are turned on it will turn on A/C compressor which requires the A/C condensor to be cooled (via radiator fan).
The air conditioning condensor
CondenSER is correct. CondenSOR is not a real word. Regards!
Most central air-conditioners will have to be replaced, and should be replaced by a Heating and air conditioning service person, who is liscened to do this work. It is dangerous and it needs a professional to refill the condensor. If your not sure it is the condensor, a professional can monitor, the air fow and tell you for sure.
There is not enough air moving across the condensor coil. You may have a inoperable fan, or the condensor could be pluged with debris. Check to see if the fan runs when the car is satationary, and rinse the condensor off with a hose.
No, the condenser is a mini radiator for the air conditioning system only. The engine cooling system is separate from this component. You just won't have any cool air!
If the pully on the air conditioning condensor won't turn, the condenser needs to be replaced. Call a local salvage yard - this is the cheapest way.
If it is like the 1999 it is in the front of the car. Lift the hood...look in front of the condensor. Its a long tube...right with the high side port coming out of it. The fan is to the left of it.
There is no air conditioning fan on a 1992 dakota.
your cooling fan thermostat is worn out. it is a thermister, which means it varies voltage depending on temperature. the reason it will come on when the air conditioning is on is because the air conditioning circuit contains a high pressure switch on the high pressure side of the air conditioning system which is normally open, meaning it doesn't complete the circuit until high discharge pressure from the condensor closes the contacts in the switch, thus completing the circuit, which sends power to the cooling fans, thus causing them or it to come on and try to "cool" the air flowing through condensor. check with your local auto parts store for availability. ---JT---
