Introduction
A truck AC condenser is a key component of a heavy-duty vehicle air conditioning system. It is responsible for dissipating heat from the refrigerant and converting high-pressure gas into liquid form. Truck AC condensers are widely used in long-haul trucks, construction vehicles, and commercial fleets operating in high-temperature and long-running conditions.
This component is essential for maintaining stable cabin cooling performance, especially for trucks operating in regions such as North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Key Functions & Working Principle
The condenser works by releasing heat absorbed from the truck cabin into the surrounding air. When refrigerant exits the compressor, it enters the condenser as a high-pressure gas. Airflow across the condenser fins cools the refrigerant, turning it into a high-pressure liquid before it moves to the expansion valve.
