Keep cold air flowing in the 2010-2015 Toyota Prius or 2012-2015 Toyota Prius v with the DENSO A/C Evaporator Core 476-0086, a Prius evaporator core designed for efficient, lightweight cooling. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on all engines, and each vehicle uses one core. As refrigerant passes through the core, it absorbs heat from the air moving across the fins before that air reaches the cabin.
A well-performing evaporator is essential to proper air-conditioning performance. DENSO draws on its OE experience in evaporator development to deliver aftermarket cores built for performance, reliability and ease of installation.
Country of origin: Japan. Sold individually.
Signs the evaporator core may need replacing include weak or warm air from the vents, or a refrigerant leak traced to the core. If a leaking or damaged evaporator is the cause, this core replaces it. Other A/C components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before you replace parts.
Which vehicles does the DENSO 476-0086 evaporator core fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2015 Toyota Prius and the 2012-2015 Toyota Prius v, on all engines. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What does an A/C evaporator core do?
Refrigerant flowing through the core absorbs heat from the air blown across its fins. This cools the air before it reaches the cabin vents.
What design features help this evaporator core cool efficiently?
Thin tubes and short fins boost heat exchange, and separate flow paths reduce pressure loss. Fin slits improve drainage.
What are signs the evaporator core may need replacing?
Weak or warm air from the vents, or a refrigerant leak traced to the core, may indicate a failing evaporator. Diagnose the A/C system first, since other parts can cause the same symptoms.
What is involved in installing an evaporator core?
Replacing it means opening the sealed A/C system, so the refrigerant must be recovered and the system recharged with proper equipment. Follow the vehicle service information for the full procedure.
