Where is the condenser of a car air conditioning system generally installed?

Car air conditioning condensers are typically located in front of the engine, right behind the front grille where it can catch incoming wind (except for rear-engine vehicles). Here is more information about car air conditioning condensers: 1. Car air conditioning condensers are usually installed at the front of the vehicle to utilize the incoming airflow while driving to cool the refrigerant in the pipes, though some condensers may be installed on the sides of the vehicle body. 2. The condenser is a component of the refrigeration system and a type of heat exchanger. It converts gas or vapor into liquid and rapidly transfers heat from the pipes to the surrounding air. The condenser operates as a heat-releasing process, resulting in relatively high temperatures.
