Construction: The condenser in the FORD ESCAPE(KUGA)1.6T typically incorporates the following components:
- Tubes: In the condenser, refrigerant gas passes through microscopic
tubes to improve heat exchange. These tubes have a bigger surface
area and are designed to efficiently conduct heat.
- Fins: To maximize heat dissipation and surface area, the tubes are
outfitted with thin metal fins. By transferring heat from the
refrigerant to the surrounding air, they improve cooling
efficiency.
- There are two refrigerant connections on the condenser: one on the
high-pressure side and one on the low-pressure side. During the
cooling process, these connectors allow refrigerant to enter and
exit the condenser.
- Brackets for mounting the condenser: Brackets hold the condenser to
the car's chassis or radiator support, providing stability and
appropriate alignment with other components.
