11. CONDENSER
The condenser is a heat exchanger used to cool the
hot vapourised refrigerant. Also the refrigerant
changes its state from vapour to liquid. The conden-
ser in this vehicle, as in many other vehicles is
placed in front of the radiator. A condenser fan is
provided to force the air in to the condenser to cool
the refrigerant inside the core.
12. RECEIVER DRIER (R.D)
It’s a storage device for liquid refrigerant and has
three main functions.
i) It absorbs the moisture in the refrigerant.
ii) It allows only liquid (
high pressure liquid)
to pass
through to the TXV.
iii) It keeps a reserve of refrigerant to accommodate
fluctuating refrigerant requirements.
