Condensation is the phase change of a substance from vapor to liquid. A condenser, in this context, is the part of the air conditioning system that pulls heat out of the refrigerant to "condense" it. It's the big radiator in front of the other radiator.


The evaporator is the little one inside the cabin that gets cold when the refrigerant evaporates. Ever use canned "air?" It's similar to AC refrigerant. Notice how the can gets cold after it has been used? Evaporation.


But the evaporator gets cold and, like a glass of ice water, condenses water vapor out of air.
