Radiator.
The Evaporator is the part of a refrigeration system that absorbs heat. Its counterpart is the condenser which is used to remove heat that was absorbed in the evaporator.
An 'air conditioner' is an electrical device or appliance that cools down or removes the heat from the air in an enclosed space by utilizing a refrigeration cycle. The air conditioning system is made up of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, refrigeration lines and a couple of sensors. The compressor is the heart of your a/c system which takes the refrigerant (the gas) and pressurizes it so it will cool the air. It's run by an engine belt. An air-conditioning system uses a refrigerant gas like Freon to cool the air. Freon is placed in a sealed system and is then pressurized using a compressor. As it's pressurized, it gets hot by absorbing the heat around it. This hot gas then passes through a radiator outside to be cooled by the air outside which is cooler than the compressed gas. The cooled Freon still remains compressed. It is then expanded into another radiator where it cools off a lot as it expands. When air in your room gets blown across this cold radiator, it becomes cold too. This is also how most refrigerators and freezers work. Tushar kanta Rath Berhampur,orissa tusar021@gmail.com
An evaporator coil is a vital part of any heating or cooling system. It is usually found in an air conditioner, because evaporator coils are particularly good at absorbing heat when air is passed through their system. Evaporator coils look like a series of pipes.

compressor, condenser, radiator(not your coolant radiator, its the smaller one infront), and evaporator are the four components
No. The ac system uses a condenser and an evaporator.
In vapour compressor refrigeration system the low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from evaporator is compressed. where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. From compressor refrigerant goes to condenser where where it changes the phase. from condenser refrigerant goes to evaporator through expansion device.
It is a device that cycles the compressor depending on the line pressure coming out of the evaporator. Some vehicles have the switch located over on the high "condenser" side of the system.
The low pressure port on any A/C system will be the the line running from the compressor and going into the evaporator in the passengercompartment. The high-pressure port is in the line coming from the condenser in front of the radiator going to the compressor.
in a typical residential split system, the condenser fan is cooling the compressor so i wouldn't expect the same useful life from the compressor if it were not being cooled. you could set up its own fan i suppose. you can separate the evaporator and condenser about 25' (50' total line circuit) off the shelf. farther than that, the manufacturer usually has a larger line set (diameters) to keep the same performance rating. you also get into oil drainback issues, i.e. you have to pay attention in sloping the lineset to drain oil back to the compressor.
The manufacturer doesn't "necessarily" recommend flushing this system. They go on to state that since it is very unlikely to that a flush would completely clean the condenser, it should be changed along with the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube; in the event of a compressor failure. (When compressors fail they tend to send debris throughout the AC system, it can and will get caught in the small orifices of the condenser evaporator, accumulator and orifice tube) However, while you have the AC lines, orifice tube (removed), accumulator and evaporator disconnected; use compressed air (from a shop compressor) to blow out each line as well as the evaporator and condenser.
The low pressure port is the port between the evaporator (cooling coils in the dashboard) and the compressor. On my van it is on the tube coming out of the firewall. The compressor compresses the liquid, sends it to the condenser near the radiator, then it goes to the cooling coils in the dashboard where it expands and cools. The high pressure port will be between the compressor and condenser. On the 134 freon systems you can't get the two mixed up, because the hose fittings are different sizes.
The Evaporator is the part of a refrigeration system that absorbs heat. Its counterpart is the condenser which is used to remove heat that was absorbed in the evaporator.
The inlet side is the low side - this will have the larger hose. On a Thermal Expansion Valve system, this hose will run from the evaporator outlet to the compressor inlet. On a Fixed Orifice Tube system, this hose will run from the accumulator outlet to the compressor inlet. The outlet side is the high side, and the hose will run from the compressor outlet to the condenser inlet.
The AC is a "system", not a single component, and as such, there are parts of the AC system in several areas of the vehicle. The AC compressor is on the engine and receives it's power from the serpentine belt. The AC clutch is on the compressor, enabling the compressor to be disengaged from the serpentine belt when the compressor is not needed. The AC evaporator is a coil that 's inside the heater box, under the dashboard. The AC condenser is in front of the engine radiator. The AC receiver/dryer is under the hood, attached to the firewall. And the AC refrigerant hoses connect everything together.
