A/C EVAPORATOR
DESCRIPTION
The A/C evaporator (Fig. 1) for the rear heating-
A/C system is located within the rear HVAC housing,
behind the right quarter trim panel. The rear A/C
evaporator is positioned in the rear HVAC housing so
that all air entering the housing must pass over the
evaporator fins before it is distributed through the
rear heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. However,
air passing over the evaporator fins will only be con-
ditioned when the A/C compressor is engaged and cir-
culating refrigerant through the rear A/C evaporator.
The rear A/C evaporator tubes are connected and
sealed to the rear A/C expansion valve by use of rub-
ber O-rings and a tapping block.
The rear A/C evaporator can only be serviced by
removing and disassembling the rear HVAC housing.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the rear A/C evaporator from
the rear A/C expansion valve as a low-temperature,
low-pressure mixture of liquid and gas. As air flows
over the fins of the rear A/C evaporator, the humidity
in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from
the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat absorp-
tion causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The
refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas when it
leaves the rear A/C evaporator.
The rear A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
