More surface area to dissipate heat, the more exposed surface of a material the more place to 'let out' the heat

What is the function of a condensor?

Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.

Function of a condenser?

The condenser receives hot high pressure gas refrigerant from the air conditioning compressor.It cools this gas (it looks like a radiator) turning the gas into a cooler liquid. (condensing it)


How do you clean the condenser on a 1995 suburban?

Remove any leaves or debris from the condenser fins, you can go over it lightly with a soft brush if you wish. Don't use high pressure air or water, as condenser fins bend easily. Use a fin comb to straighten any bent fins.


Why is your air conditioning not working when car is not moving?

Couple things I can think of off the top of my head.. if it does provide cooling when the vehicle is moving, your refrigerant level is probably the issue - perhaps too much of it or too much PAG oil. This causes a low superheat and makes it more difficult for the heat exchange to occur. Bent fins on the condenser which are prohibitive to the passage of air through the fins is another possibility. When you get your car washed, do you put high pressure water directly to the grille? If so, there's a good chance its caused bent fins on your condenser (as well as on the radiator). The main cause I see is an inoperative radiator/condenser fan.


Where is automobile condenser?

In front of the radiator.


Where is the ac condenser?

In front of the radiator.


How do you replace ac condenser in a 03 Mitsubishi eclipse?

Unscrew radiator, should be two attachments connected to condenser. Unscrew them from the condenser and it should slide right out from in front of the radiator.
