System Overview
All Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, except the first and second generation Nissan Quests,
have the same basic refrigerant loop components, and all models except the Frontier,
Xterra, and Sentra are available with ATC. Once you’ve learned how the basic
systems work, you can apply this knowledge to any vehicle. Although there are a
few variations in the design of each component, you’ve probably noticed that Nissan
and Infiniti systems are simpler than those of other makes.
The five major components of the refrigerant loop are the evaporator, compressor,
condenser, liquid tank (receiver/drier) and the expansion valve.
Note: The receiver/drier is referred to as the “liquid tank” in the service manuals.
