Heat Exchanger
A device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids, gases, or solids of different temperatures without mixing them.
Condenser
An electrical charge storage device also known as a capacitor. In an A/C circuit, it is a heat exchanger located in the vehicle airflow and subject to the ram air. Cooling of the refrigerant causes it to condense to a liquid state. This results in the refrigerant changing to a liquid state.
