The air conditioning system in your Chevrolet C2500 is not much different than that installed in nearly every other vehicle. A chemical coolant, or "refrigerant" is used. Until recently, Freon was the choice, but its use was banned for environmental reasons.

The engine fan belt drives the compressor, which pumps the refrigerant through the a/c system via a number of tubes. Like all mechanical devices, an air conditioning system is can overheat and possibly explode - or suffer other kinds of heat caused damage.

The Chevrolet C2500 A/C Condenser prevents this from happening, acting as a radiator. Refrigerant goes through the condenser, where its temperature is lowered by air passing through the vehicle, a cooling fan, or a combination of both. As it cools, the refrigerant condenses into a high-pressure liquid. The refrigerant passes into the evaporator, where its temperature is raised to its boiling point (much lower than that of water, rest assured). In its liquid state, the refrigerant can absorb excess heat, carrying it outside your Chevrolet C2500. The compressor then returns the refrigerant back into the Chevrolet C2500 A/C Condenser, beginning the cycle once more. The Chevrolet C2500 A/C Condenser has two hoses on either end. Its rare, but objects such as stones or other particles can enter through the grille and lodge itself in one of the high-pressure coils, damaging it.
