Did you know air conditioning system in your Chevy Truck is pretty much the same mechanism that keeps food cold in your refrigerator? The only difference is the insulated box. Both start with a chemical coolant, called a "refrigerant." This is a chemical with a very low boiling point, used to create low temperatures. A belt-driven compressor pressurizes the refrigerant and pumps it through the a/c system via a number of small pipes.

Like your engine, an air conditioning system is subject to overheating and can be damaged by excessive heat or possibly explode. The Chevy Truck A/C Condenser prevents this from happening, acting as a radiator, as well as "condensing" the refrigerant gas into a high-pressure liquid. As refrigerant circulates through the condenser, 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 liquid state. This is what actually creates the cooling air that blows through the vents while it regulates the temperature of the A/C system. As a liquid, the refrigerant can absorb excess heat and carry it outside the vehicle. The Chevy Truck A/C Condenser has a pair of hoses - one on each end. On rare rare occasions, a small object such as a piece of road salt or gravel can enter through the grille and get stuck in one of the high-pressure coils.
