Location
The condenser is located behind the radiator grille, immediately in front of the radiator.
Function
The hot refrigerant compressed by the refrigerant compressor flows into the condenser from above. Coiled pipes and lamellae absorb this heat extremely rapidly and give it off into the outside air.
This in turn cools the refrigerant. While it is cooling down to a specific, pressure-sensitive temperature, the refrigerant condenses and is liquefied. The liquid refrigerant exits at the bottom of the condenser and flows into the fluid reservoir.
