How to remove and install an A/C condenser on Mazda 3?

The first thing to do is to empty the air conditioning system of an automotive air conditioning technician. The second step is to take out the battery cover and take off the cable connected to the negative battery terminal. Lift the vehicle and place it safely on jackstands after which the splash shields are removed. Drain the cooling system, reusing and saving the coolant in case it is in fairly new condition and relatively new. Go ahead to take out the battery cooling duct and the engine cooling fan assembly. Disassemble pipes of the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the A/C Condenser by taking off the bolt or nut that has attached the two pipes into the block of the condenser and cover the lines to avoid contamination. Disassemble the radiator and condenser then on models with automatic transaxles, disconnect the lines of the transmission cooler to the radiator. Unscrew the radiator hook and lift the condenser off the radiator and store it with the line fittings facing up in case it is to be re-used. When putting in a new condenser, before fitting the condenser, the right kind of refrigerant oil should be poured into the condenser. Install the condenser to the radiator, lubricate new O-rings with refrigerant oil and insert them to refrigerant line fittings. Refrigerant lines should be reconnected to the condenser and the inlet and outlet nut tightened. Lastly, the removal is the opposite of installation, and evacuation, recharging, and leak testing done by the shop which emptied it.

Mazda 3 A/C Condenser

The Mazda 3 A/C Condenser is the heat exchanger applied by the car, and it takes very little time to remove heat from the cabin using the refrigerant in the system to allow cool air to flow during summer drives. This aluminum box sits directly in front of the radiator; it has narrow tubes with tightly spaced fins, a design that allows it to have as much contact with the moving air as possible, and it sheds the heat that the compressor injects as it forces the gas through it. The hot gaseous refrigerant flowing through the condenser is then cooled by the metal body of the condenser until the vapor cools off and condenses back into the high-pressure liquid that will go on to the accumulator, which will then flow into the evaporator and undergo another cooling cycle. The fundamental design ideology has remained unchanged during Mazda development, with a focus on light weight, resistance to corrosion, and performance-efficient surface area instead of drastically changing the appearance of the car, so drivers have enjoyed the same straight-line performance across all years of production, and the A/C Condenser can be replaced in the same steps regardless of production year. Even when the placement and mounting brackets are altered to match newer Mazda 3 models with new grille shapes, all versions of the A/C Condenser to date use the identical tube-and-fin design to achieve the desired temperature requirements without disrupting the aerodynamic flow of air. This known methodology has enabled Mazda customers to have a consistent climate control system with low energy consumption, and the condenser is also one of the highly dependable but easily accessible parts of the front end cooling stack.

Q: How to remove and install an A/C condenser on Mazda 3?
A:
The first thing to do is to empty the air conditioning system of an automotive air conditioning technician. The second step is to take out the battery cover and take off the cable connected to the negative battery terminal. Lift the vehicle and place it safely on jackstands after which the splash shields are removed. Drain the cooling system, reusing and saving the coolant in case it is in fairly new condition and relatively new. Go ahead to take out the battery cooling duct and the engine Cooling Fan Assembly. Disassemble pipes of the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the A/C Condenser by taking off the bolt or nut that has attached the two pipes into the block of the condenser and cover the lines to avoid contamination. Disassemble the Radiator and condenser then on models with automatic transaxles, disconnect the lines of the transmission cooler to the radiator. Unscrew the radiator hook and lift the condenser off the radiator and store it with the line fittings facing up in case it is to be re-used. When putting in a new condenser, before fitting the condenser, the right kind of refrigerant oil should be poured into the condenser. Install the condenser to the radiator, lubricate new O-rings with refrigerant oil and insert them to refrigerant line fittings. Refrigerant lines should be reconnected to the condenser and the inlet and outlet nut tightened. Lastly, the removal is the opposite of installation, and evacuation, recharging, and leak testing done by the shop which emptied it.
