It is usually located inside the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>  The condensor is usually made of aluminium and is made of a very thin gauge to aid in heat exchange.<\/p>\n<p>  During normal AC operation the condensor gets very cold and the air blows through it. The problem starts when you switch off the AC or more specifically the blower. The instant the blower is switched off, air stops flowing through the condensor. Howerver the condensor is still quite cold. Due to this water starts to condense on the condensor. Much like on a cold bottle. This water causes the condensor to corrode over time.<\/p>\n<p>  Most people thinlk aluminium does not corrode. This is not entirely true. Aluminium forms a layer of aluminium oxide over it which helps to prevent corrosion. The problem with the condensor is that the air blowing through the condensor keeps removing the aluminium oxide layer.<\/p>\n<p>  The only remidy to this problem is to keep the blower on without the compressor for a while before switching off the AC. This lets the condensor reach room temperature before the air flow is stopped.<\/p>\n<p>  Please note that this takes years and is more pronounced in humid environments.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mods: could not find this anywhere please move\/delete if this is a repetition.
