A Chevy C2500 air conditioning system isn't much different than the refrigerator in your kitchen. It uses a nearly identical chemical coolant, or "refrigerant." The only difference is that the refrigerator has an insulated storage box for your comestibles, while your truck as an uninsulated cab for you. In both cases, compressor is driven by a motor-driven belt which, pumps the refrigerant through the a/c system by way of a series of tubes.

An air conditioning systems is subject to overheating, just like an engine. It can explode or suffer other kinds of heat related damage.

The Chevy C2500 A/C Condenser is your a/c system's first line of defense against this kind of overheating. Refrigerant first flows through this condenser. The refrigerant, in gaseous form, is cooled off and condensed into a high-pressure liquid. As a liquid, the refrigerant is able to absorb excess heat, carrying it outside your Chevy C2500. The refrigerant then travels on to the evaporator, and is literally "evaporated," or heated to boiling (at a much lower than that at which water boils). The compressor then pumps the refrigerant back into the Chevy C2500 A/C Condenser, and the cycle starts over. A Chevy C2500 A/C Condenser has two hoses - one on either end of the unit. The refrigerant enters through one end and exits through the other. Foreign objects like gravel or other particles can and do occasionally enter through the grille and get stuck in one of the high-pressure coils, which ultimately causes damage.
