The condenser transfers heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding air to convert the HP vapor from the compressor into a liquid. The condenser is installed immediately in front of the radiator. Two brackets on each end tank attach the condenser to the end tanks of the radiator.
The condenser is classified as a sub-cooling condenser and consists of a fin and tube heat exchanger core installed between 2 end tanks. Divisions in the end tanks separate the heat exchanger into a 4 pass upper (condenser) section and a 2 pass lower (sub-cooler) section.
The right end tank provides the connections to the HP line from the A/C compressor and the HP line to the evaporator.
