Air Conditioning: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Lincoln MKX and 2013 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The refrigerant system components include the following:
- A/C compressor and clutch assembly
- A/C condenser core
- A/C evaporator core
- Receiver/drier desiccant bag
- Connecting refrigerant lines
- Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
An A/C pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C compressor to protect the refrigerant system against excessively high refrigerant pressures.
Refrigerant flow into the evaporator core is metered by a TXV.
