3 Problems with the Condenser Array in Your AC

The condenser array forms the first stage in the air conditioning process: shifting gas refrigerant to a liquid state and subjecting it to a great deal of pressure before moving it on to the evaporator coils where it properly cools the air. The process involves several different components and results in a lot of heat being bled into the air. Accordingly, the condenser array is usually located in the outside portion of the house, which mean the components can be subjected to damage from the elements. Havertown and Springfield, PA have their share of adverse elemental conditions, which can cause significant problems with the condenser array in your AC. Here’s a quick breakdown of three of them.

1.     Fan Damage

The fan pulls hot air out of the system as it gets created bhy the air conditioner’s operation. It could stop working because of a failed motor or a broken belt, to the blades cold become bent or damaged from misalignment. That keeps more of the hot air in the system, which can cause it to overheat, as well as reducing the efficiency of the system overall.

2.     Condenser Coil Damage

Flat-out damage to the condenser coil is rare, and when it happens you usually need to replace it immediately. More common is the appearance of dust and dirt on the coils, which can interfere with its ability to release heat. As a result, the refrigerant isn’t liquefied the way it needs to be and the process loses a great deal of efficiency.

3.     Compressor Damage

The compressor is the most important component in the whole array heating the refrigerant and placing it under pressure to be released into the evaporator coils. Dirt will cause it to work harder to accomplish the same goals, while damage or malfunctions could cause the entire air conditioner to shut down.
