Evaporator Core: Description and Operation

A/C Evaporator Core

A/C Evaporator Core:

NOTE:
- The evaporator core is not separately serviceable, it is serviced only with the evaporator core housing assembly.
- Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.

The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core inlet tube and moves out of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
- This flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator core.
