Component Description: Condenser

NOTE: The condenser for the 3.5L/3.7L Ti-VCT engine equipped vehicles is produced from the factory with a receiver drier desiccant bag installed in the integrated receiver drier (part of the condenser). This receiver drier desiccant bag may become contaminated with moisture if the condenser is not installed for an extended period of time. Since it cannot be determined how much time has elapsed between production and installation of the unit as a service part, remove and replace the receiver drier desiccant bag with the separate receiver drier desiccant bag supplied with the condenser service part kit.

The A/C condenser is an aluminum tube and fin design heat exchanger. It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat, and condenses gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.

The top portion of the condenser is partitioned from the refrigerant system and is used for transmission oil cooling.
