It receives the hot, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the compressor and cools it to a warm liquid state, although still under high pressure. The condenser is positioned in front of the radiator so its cooling fins can be exposed to oncoming air through the grille and air pulled by the engine cooling fan. If testing proves that your condenser is leaking, restricted, or otherwise damaged, don't pay the high dealer price for a replacement, when you can get an OE quality condenser for much less from Replace.
