Condensers and Evaporators for Toyota RAV4

If your Toyota A/C stops cooling the air, the condenser or evaporator could be at fault. These two parts help take warm cabin air and make it comfortably cool. Explore the available options so you can replace your condensers and evaporators for Toyota RAV4.

How do Toyota RAV4 condensers work?

RAV4 refrigerant goes through a cycle, passing from hot gas to freezing liquid and then back again. The condenser fan blows cool air over a metal mesh under the hood of your Toyota RAV4 near the radiator. Cool air condenses the gaseous contents of the mesh. Over time, this part can get clogged with debris from earlier in the cycle. Rocks or dirt kicked up while driving your vehicle can also cause damage. Because the mesh part is hard to clean, due to the extremely thin tubing inside, it is simpler to replace this part as needed. If the condenser stops working, your Toyota RAV4 can no longer cool cabin air. Because the air conditioner uses engine power, problems can also affect your vehicles gas mileage.

How do RAV4 evaporators work?

In the evaporator, refrigerant becomes cold enough to absorb heat from the RAV4 cabin, cooling your car. Before reaching the evaporator, cold liquid passes through a filtration process. Clogs are less likely, although they are possible. Because this part sits in the main cabin, it is also less likely to be damaged from the outside. You can replace the evaporator unit as a whole or in pieces. Here are the main evaporator parts.

  • Core: This refers to the main body of the evaporator. This part looks like a miniature radiator.
  • Case: The top and bottom case refers to the trim pieces that hold the core in place.
  • Brackets: In addition to the case, metal brackets hold the unit in place. If these brackets get damaged, the evaporator will come loose. You can replace these parts separately as needed.
