Car Air Conditioner Condensers

Car Air Conditioner Condensers - Valeo India

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!

Innovation: Valeo Water Condensers

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:

  • Frees up space for additional components in hybrid models
  • Reduces radiator fan electricity use by improving air circulation

Focus On Performance: SHP+ Condensers

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:

  • Fins: Minimal space between condenser fins (less than 1mm of distance between fins) allows for a maximised heat exchange for optimal cooling performance
  • Tubes: Multichannel tubes allow for excellent heat penetration
  • Receiver Drier: Selected models include an integrated receiver drier, enabling more efficient subcooling. Efficient subcooling means that even if the refrigerant level decreases, the air conditioning system remains effective
  • Extensive Coverage: The Valeo A/C condenser range covers a variety of powertrains, including electric and hybrid vehicles

FAQ 

When do you need to change the air conditioning condenser?

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.

How to solve troubles with the automotive air conditioning condenser??

If you are in doubt or have any difficulties installing a Valeo automotive air conditioning condenser, please contact our technical assistance hotline. Valeo's team of experts is prepared to resolve any problem quickly and remotely, providing all necessary assistance during the parts installation process.
