Keeping it Cool

However, there are certain parts that are included in the whole of the car's air conditioning system like the AC Condenser, that should also be credited for the efficient function and operation of this system. Like in the case of the which is the very heart of the air conditioning system. Because this component has the responsibility of providing the car's cabin with cool and fresh air. The condenser is usually strategically placed at the front of the radiator. This way, the Pontiac AC Condenser would be the first part to receive the cold air that flows through the car's grille. It also acquires the air it breathes in from the car's fan and that's what it uses to cool the refrigerant.

The process starts when the pressurized refrigerant liquid from the car's evaporator starts flowing into the AC Condenser. The air contained in the AC Condenser which flows through the coil would then cool the liquid refrigerant. After which, the cooled liquid will have to pass through the expansion valves where it is subjected to flow back to the evaporator. This process of cooling is repeated consecutively in order to make sure that the liquid refrigerant is cooled to the required degree. Because the refrigerant needs to go through two processes, car engineers have designed the AC Condensers to have two hoses. These two hoses are used for the passage of the liquid refrigerant. The first hose is used to transport incoming highly pressurized liquid coolant and the second is then obviously used for the outflowing highly pressurized refrigerant coolant.

Stress is a common thing that a Pontiac AC Condenser experiences due to the nature of its work. As it is nestled just behind the grille, aside from breathing in first-hand the air that flows through it, it is also the part which suffers the most from the foreign particles that also come in through the grille. This then causes a lot of strain and pains to the AC Condenser. For this reason, it is critical for car owners to regularly check this part for particles that may have gotten stuck in the body of the condenser, which are often small rocks and dead insects. These things are dangerous as it could cause severe damage to the highly pressurized coils and hoses of the AC Condenser.

Car owners may not be able to prevent these particles from penetrating into their Pontiac AC Condenser but a solution is just around the corner when this part starts to retire. Lots of aftermarket dealers offer originally manufactured AC Condensers for Pontiac vehicles. Thus, owners would have no valid reason not to be able to replace this broken part.
