Refrigerant Circuit Components: Condenser
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, 2016 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- All components of the refrigerant circuit submitted for quality observation are always to be sealed (use original sealing caps of original part).
- Replace damaged or leaking components of refrigerant circuit. Refer to COMPONENTS, REPLACING .
- To date, the original parts (compressor, reservoir, receiver/dryer, evaporator and condenser) have been filled with nitrogen gas. This charge is being gradually discontinued. There is little or no pressure equalization when removing the sealing plugs from the original part.
The condenser conducts heat from compressed refrigerant gas to the ambient air.
This condenses the refrigerant gas to fluid.
