Your Mitsubishi Eclipse air conditioning system may not look anything like the refrigerator in your kitchen, but mechanically, it is essentially identical. It uses a chemical coolant, which is technically known as a "refrigerant". What's significant about the refrigerant is that its boiling point is far less than that of water.

It is the evaporative action occuring at this boiling point - that is, the point at which it changes from a liquid to a gaseous state - that creates the cooling action. In that sense, its somewhat similar to what happens when you work up a sweat while in the gym.

In any event, a belt-driven compressor pumps the refrigerant through the a/c system via a series of tubes. The refrigerant, in its gaseous state, passes first through the Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Condenser.

As it cools, the refrigerant condenses into a high-pressure liquid. After this, the now-liquid refrigerant passes to the evaporator, where it is again raised to its boiling point. The compressor then pumps the refrigerant gas back into the Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Condenser, and the cycle starts over. A Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Condenser has two hoses on either end of the unit - one through which refrigerant enters as a gas, and the other through which it exists as a liquid. If some bit of debris enters through the grille and makes its way into one of the high-pressure coils, major damage may occur.
