Is Replacing a Condenser Considered a Major Accident?
1 Answers
Replacing a condenser is not considered an accident vehicle. The function of the condenser: The condenser's role is to transform the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant from the compressor into a medium-temperature, medium-pressure refrigerant (this can be understood as such), which is then fed into the next stage's liquid storage tank or dryer. The process through the condenser is an effective cooling stage. If the condenser fails, it may cause an imbalance in the pipeline pressure, leading to air conditioning malfunctions. The structure of the condenser can be likened to a radiator, designed to increase the contact area, allowing the refrigerant to achieve maximum heat exchange in the smallest possible space, similar to how a radiator works. Definition of an accident vehicle: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear accidents, resulting in a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. To identify such a vehicle, first observe whether the gaps between the body panels are uniform and consistent, and check if the side body lines are smooth. If the waistline appears noticeably uneven, it can be concluded that the vehicle has been involved in a collision, and a severe one at that.
