Sub-Cool A/C System Description

Precautions: General safety (00)

In the sub-cool A/C system (condenser integrated with receiver/dryer), the inside of the condenser is divided into the condensation part and the sub-cooler part, and the receiver/dryer is located between these parts. In the receiver/dryer, the refrigerant is separated into vapor refrigerant and liquid refrigerant. Only the liquid refrigerant is delivered to the sub-cooler part of the condenser. The refrigerant is supercooled by the sub-cooler part of the condenser.
