Evaporator Core: Description and Operation

Evaporator

The evaporator is housed in the evaporator case, located behind the right-hand side of the instrument panel. During air conditioning operation, ambient air is directed through the fins of the evaporator and into the vehicle's passenger compartment. Heat from the ambient air is transferred to the low-pressure, low-temperature liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator.
