Evaporator Core: Description and Operation

NOTE:
- Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
- The evaporator core is serviced as a core and housing assembly. The evaporator core internal doors, seals and door linkage are included with the housing.

The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core inlet tube and then moves out of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
- This flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator core.
