Located inside the dashboard air conditioning housing, the evaporator absorbs heat from the cabin air, allowing the ventilation system to deliver cool air.

Unlike the original Porsche assembly, which is normally supplied with the complete housing, this OE Match alternative allows the internal evaporator core to be replaced separately.

What Does It Do?

The evaporator core is a heat exchanger within the air conditioning system.

Cold refrigerant passes through the evaporator, absorbing heat from air blown across its surface. This cools the air entering the cabin and helps remove humidity.

Why Is It Important?

A functioning evaporator is essential for effective air conditioning.

A damaged or leaking core may cause:

• Poor or no cabin cooling
• Gradual loss of refrigerant
• Repeated need for air conditioning recharging
• Reduced dehumidification performance
• Refrigerant leakage from the dashboard area

Why Do Evaporator Cores Fail?

Common causes include:

• Corrosion of internal cooling passages
• Age-related deterioration
• Vibration and repeated temperature changes
• Damage during air conditioning repairs
• Leaks around refrigerant connections

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the evaporator when testing confirms refrigerant leakage or physical damage.

Before replacement, check the remaining air conditioning components to ensure the fault is not caused by the condenser, compressor or external refrigerant pipes.

Why Choose OE Match?

OE Match offers a cost-effective repair solution by supplying the evaporator core separately.

Porsche normally supplies the original evaporator with the complete air conditioning housing. Replacing only the failed core allows the existing housing to be retained, potentially reducing replacement parts costs.

Installation Notes

Replacement requires access to the internal dashboard air conditioning housing and should be carried out by an experienced technician.

The refrigerant must be professionally recovered before dismantling. Replace disturbed sealing rings as required, then leak-test, evacuate and recharge the system to Porsche specifications.

Air Conditioning Evaporator Cores

The Porsche 986 Boxster, 996 Carrera, 987 Boxster/Cayman and 997 air conditioning systems use an internal evaporator to cool and dehumidify cabin air.

The OE Match evaporator core provides an aftermarket replacement for compatible left-hand drive vehicles. Unlike the complete Porsche air conditioning housing, this component allows the evaporator alone to be renewed when the original core develops a leak
