position if the bent is found.
Installation of Condenser
(1) Use some self-tapping screws to secure the
condenser and radiator, and assemble the related
screw bush and spacer, with the tightening torque
of 6±0.6N·m;
(2) Use the bolts (M6) and spacer to secure the
condenser support on the front crossbeam, with the
tightening torque of 1.5±0.15N·m;
(3) Assemble the integrated condenser-radiator into the
related fixing holes;
(4) Use spacer, shim block and two nuts to fasten the
condenser and front crossbeam, where the tightening
torque of nut is 1.5±0.15N·m.
The condenser is designated to cool the coolant vapor
discharged from the compressor and condense the vapor
to make it give off its heat and become to the coolant
fluild.
Chery A15LHD adopts the serpentine condenser, as
shown in the figure. The condenser is secured with
engine radiator in a row, and there is an axial fan, which
is driven by a DC motor, behind them to forcedly cool
the condenser and radiator.
Introduction to the fluid reservoir:
Removal/Installation (see the Removal of Condenser)
Chery A15LHD's fluid reservoir is located under the
condenser (i.e., the outlet of condenser), the structure of
which is shown in the figure.
In fact, the fluid reservoir is a pressure container used to
store the coolant, and it is available to delivery the
fluid-state coolant to the expansion valve at a specified
flow rate. The filter screen of fluid reservoir is applied to
filter the all kinds of foreign materials from the coolant.
The drying agent silicon oxide with powerful water
absorptivity is filled in the drying unit, which is used to
absorb the water content in the coolant. In addition, a
fusible plug is also installed on the reservoir. If the poor
heat emission of condenser or other causes result the
rapid rise of temperature and pressure of the
