What was found

POOR AIR QUALITY IN THE AIRCRAFT. *S/D* PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED ON GROUND. HOWEVER, WHEN CHECKING LT CONDENSER/REHEATER, IT WAS FOUND CLOGGED. A CLOGGED CONDENSER/REHEATER CAN CAUSE PACK LOW FLOW PROBLEM WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO POOR AIR QUALITY. THE LT CONDENSER/REHEATER WAS REPLACED. AIRCRAFT WENT BACK TO REVENUE SERVICE WITHOUT FURTHER POOR AIR QUALITY PROBLEM.
