Now that we have an idea of the role an AC compressor plays, let’s have a look at the AC condenser.  If you have ever seeing an air conditioning condenser you might have mistaken it for your car’s radiator. This is common and not surprising at at all considering the job of an Air Conditioner condenser is same as the car radiator.

The AC Condenser’s sole job is to remove the heat from the super heated refrigerant, similar to how the radiator removes the heat from the engine coolant. The AC Condenser has intricate bends and folds which pull heat out of the refrigerant as it passes through. The peculiar turns the refrigerant takes through the nooks and crannies of the ac condenser combined with outside air removes heat from the refrigerant.

The removal of heat results in a change of state in the refrigerant. When the refrigerant initially entered the ac condenser, it was a super compressed and super heated gas. When the refrigerant leaves the AC condenser, it has been cooled down enough to change states from gas to liquid upon exiting.
