Cleaning A/C compressor

[Bruce Hart]

Just reviewing on A/C systems and I ran across this. Hadn't heard about using a cleaner for the condenser, all I ever did was flush one out with
garden hose from the back side and straightened out the fins.

We find that the rock guard we provide cuts down on the damage to the lower
portion of the Radiator .
Our condenser being 40 years old has accumulated dirt and other debri.

A coil cleaner will clean out the condenser for better air circulation and
reduce high side pressure.

Eric keeps calling it the front clip. It's header panel, grill and bumper cover. Clip includes hood and 2 fenders. Also if the condenser was still wet
then the evaporative cooling would drop the high side He should have wet it before the test to get accurate data results. Bad science

Yes, and people keep wanting to call it “Cleaning A/C compressor. I think they mean A/C condenser.

Or are they really talking about the evaporator?

The condenser is in front of the radiator.

The evaporator is in the air box.

I know well what all the parts are named and where they are located. Kanomata was talking in one message about the lower part of the radiator ; ergo— the condensor.

[john r. lebetski]

And people get confused because condensate drips from the evaporator not the condenser. Though temping to use the product he is showing I'd be
cautious and only use like a mild car wash solution and clear rinse on a 70s part that is not available. The foaming is a chemical reaction Our
condensers are up high enough to be spared some of the road grunge. The cars with no grills like 3rd gen F bodies and C4 Corvettes are "bottom
feeders" and besides inhaling paper and plastic trash get the really gummy deposits buildup especially right in front of the fans. This product might
be better suited for that tough cleaning job. JMHO.
