Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Condenser
Purpose
-
The condenser cools the high-temperature, highly pressurized refrigerant.
Function
-
The condenser cools the high-temperature, highly pressurized gaseous refrigerant compressed by the A/C compressor using the outside air, and changes it to liquid refrigerant.
Construction
-
The condenser is installed to the front of the radiator.
-
The condenser consists of the tube which passes refrigerant, and the heat radiation fin.
-
A sub-cooling condenser has been adopted.
-
The sub-cooling condenser is integrated with the multi-flow condenser and the receiver driver.
-
The sub-cooling condenser separates the refrigerant, cooled once by the condenser, into vapor and liquid using the receiver/drier, and by returning it to the sub-cooling part of the condenser again to cool.
-
As a result, liquefaction of the refrigerant is promoted and cooling performance is improved.
Operation
-
The high-temperature, highly pressurized gaseous refrigerant sent from the A/C compressor passes through the tube in the condenser.
-
When the air blown from the outside is exposed to the heat radiation fin, the heat of the refrigerant is captured by heat exchange, and the refrigerant changes from a gas to a liquid.
-
The liquid refrigerant is sent to the expansion valve via the receiver/drier.
Fail-safe
-
Function not equipped.

CAUTION:
When foreign material such as an iron chip is on the CKP sensor, it can cause
abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence and adversely affect
the engine control. Be sure there is no foreign material on the CKP sensor when
replacing.

Wheels And Tires
Outline
An adhesive-type balance weights has been adopted to the outer side of the
aluminum alloy wheels. Due to this, a stylish wheel design is realized.
In consideration of the environment, steel balance weights have been adopted
to reduce the use of lead in the vehicle.

Hood
WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked:
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly open
while the vehicle is moving and block the driver's vision which could result in
a serious accident.
