The job of the condenser is to cool down the refrigerant that has become heated during compression in the compressor. The hot refrigerant gas flows into the condenser, discharging heat to the surroundings via its tubes and fins. Cooling reduces the pressure of the refrigerant and the state of aggregation of the refrigerant (which had been gaseous) liquefies. The condenser is installed in front of the engine radiator.
Brazed flat tube condensers have become established on the market thanks to their high performance and slim design. The cost of logistics and assembly can be reduced significantly for automotive manufacturers by using a condenser module. It consists of a brazed unit made up of a flat tube condenser and collection/expansion tank with integrated dryer. Due to the special installation location, failures of an environmental nature can occur caused by soiling or rock impacts. Defects caused by front-impact accidents occur particularly often.
