The car air conditioning condenser is a heat exchanger that converts the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid state. As a part of the car A/C system, the condenser is always located in front of the radiator.
As a leading manufacturer of car air conditioning systems, Valeo has brought several innovations to car condensers, including award-winning water condensers. Valeo’s OE quality and innovative design ensure customer satisfaction with long-lasting, high-performance condensers. Choose Valeo and stay cool with condensers from the car air conditioning experts!
Valeo’s innovative water condenser uses water instead of air to liquefy air-conditioning refrigerant vapour. In addition to the water-cooled charge air cooler, the water-cooled condenser links the engine cooling loop to the A/C system. Valeo’s water-cooled car air conditioner condensers are part of a specific hot loop/cold loop thermal management architecture.
Valeo’s water-cooled car condenser has several benefits, like a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption compared to conventional car condensers. It also reduces pressure fluctuations in the air conditioning system.
What’s more, the water-cooled car condenser does not need to be located in front of the radiator, which:
Valeo’s patented SHP+ car condensers improve the cooling performance through re-designed micro-tubes and a compact crimping process.
This technology ensures better thermal performance and lower consumption (compressor torque reduction.) This technology has been featured on mass-produced Asian and European vehicles since 2014.
Key Advantages of Valeo A/C Condensers:
As the automotive air-conditioning condenser is installed in the front of the vehicle, the biggest problems requiring the part to be changed are related to frontal collisions. Some other situations that typically require replacement are related to corrosion of the component (due to moisture present in the system), contaminated or blocked fins, and the impact of stones or other external objects.
