Technical description Dometic Harrier Inverter

6.1 Components
The refrigerant circuit of the roof air conditioner consists of the following main
components:
•Compressor (1)
The compressor draws in the refrigerant used and compresses it. This raises the
pressure and therefore the temperature of the refrigerant.
•Condenser (2)
The built-in liquefier works like a cooler or heat exchanger. The air flowing past
absorbs the heat and the hot refrigerant gas cools down and becomes liquid.
•Evaporator (3)
The evaporators cool down and dehumidify the air flowing past them. The
refrigerant absorbs the heat and vaporises.
•Blower (4)
A blower distributes the cooled air within the vehicle through an air outlet unit.
