1 Condenser

B12 Refrigerant pressure sensor

Location

The condenser is located behind the radiator grille, immediately in front of the radiator.

Task

The condenser ensures that the refrigerant compressed by the refrigerant compressor (A9) changes state from gaseous to liquid.

Function

The hot refrigerant compressed by the refrigerant compressor flows into the condenser from above. The coiled pipes and lamellas rapidly absorb the heat of the refrigerant and release it 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 flows into the fluid reservoir.
