The A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:

• It is an aluminum fin and tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
• It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.
