Inside a condenser, vaporized refrigerant from the compressor is condensed back into a liquid state by releasing heat to the surroundings. This process helps to lower the temperature of the refrigerant so that it can circulate back into the system and cool the area being conditioned.
Condesor- cools the liquid formed gas after compressor compresses. After condensor it pass through the expansion valve, then again liquid formed gas expanses to gas form and produses cooling .this cooled gas then passes through the evaporator coils
There are to lines for a/c: the evaporator and the condesor. The condesor line is supposed to be hot. It actually should be about 30f hotter than the outside air temp.
A relay is a device that takes a smaller source of electrical power and using it to manually control a larger source of electrical power. Typically, a low voltage or low current source, which is more easily manageable with control circuits, sends a signal to energize an electromagnetic coil. When the coil is activated, the magnetic field moves a plunger type device which has contacts that serve as a switch for the larger voltage or current device. In essence, the contacts complete the path for the circuit and allows a load to begin to operate using the higher voltage or current that is supplied through the contacts' connections. A good example is a house air conditioning system's condenser unit (the part which contains the compressor and sits outside of the house). The condenser requires 240 Volts Alternating Current (AC). But the thermostat inside the house uses a 24 Volt power source. When it's time to cool the house down, the thermostat on the wall sends 24 Volt signal to the relay in the condenser unit. The 24 volts causes the coil to energize and makes an electrical connection to the 240volts required to power the compressor. The compressor now runs and your house begans to cool off. Once the set temperature is reached, the thermostat discontinues the 24 volt control signal and the 240 Volts is disconnected from the compressor by the relay, thus shutting off the condesor unit. In cars and vehicles, a relay performs the same function, except that the voltage is not 240 Volts AC. It is 12 volts Direct Current (12VDC). It is used in the air conditioning system in much the same way, but is also used to control the blinking of turn signals, the horn, and in some cases headlights. The voltage remains at 12VDC, but large current flow is controlled by small current flow. For example, 12VDC at 10milliamps through the relay could contol the headlights which may require 12VDC at 5 Amps to shine brightly enough to see at night.
you could have a leak anywhere in your system... the most common places are in the condensor (in front of radiator... looks like a thin radiator under the hood near the front grille), the evaporator, or the valves. take the caps off of your valves and check for a neon-green colored fluid... if there is some under a cap DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!! that is your refrigerant and it will do bad things to your skin. put the cap back on and take it to the local shop... they will have to evacuate the system, replace the valve and re-fill the system. other than that easy fix, if you hit anyting, you are looking at probably replacing your condesor at the least, plus any associated plumbing and hardware. if you hit something, warranty woudl NOT cover it. if it was a valve, and your car is still covered, warranty should cover it, as this is a manufactuer defect.
the easiest way to change the timing belt is to remove the grill, center section of the radiator support, and the radiator and fans. Leave the airconditioner condesor there, it would be more difficult to remove. Once all that has been removed you then have to remove the blelts, the tensioner (completely) and the crack pully. then you have access to the timing chain cover, which you then remove and there it is. A tip when replacing the belt is to also replace the water pump since you already went through the trouble. I just did all this yesterday and the water pump cost 39.99 and belt was 35.00.Answer1. slow percausion 2. use a menual step by step 3.starting with cam pully 4.work your way in and out 5. ) AnswerNot to be rude, but if you have to ask, you need take it in. A TB is a project for someone with a good mechanical aptitude (and most likely, a shop manual), it is not just a simple fix, like a bulb or radio, etc. If you do it wrong, you'll likely leak coolant, or worse, total the engine.Most newer engines are 'interference engines' meaning a timing belt that breaks, slips or has some other sort of misalignment causes physical (costly) damage to the engine's internals.Usually, it is the valves that get bent, which entails about a $750 repair (in addition to the cost of the belt repair). Worse, a piston or cylinder wall gets cracked, which usually means a new engine, that can become a $2000 expense real quick.Dealers are expensive, usually 30% more than independent shops on a timing belt.Find a good local independent shop and consult with them, you will likely spend about $150-$200 in parts, and another $300-$400 in labor. Not cheap, but a lot better then the alternative.HTH, MarkANSWER:Not to be a prick.. but the dude (Mark) that answered above me most likely works for a mechanic shop. I have rebuilt 4 engines and have done it all by trial and error. Ask questions and/or grab a Chilton manual. The best way to save money is to do it yourself. Just keep an eye on what you are doing and be sure to mark what you disconnect so you don't forget where anything goes. EASY AS PIE!!
