Title: condenser
Post by: Markus on August 27, 2010, 14:58:46

What is the largest parallel flow condenser that fits into our cars? I am trying to upgrade my a/c from the old tube and fin version.

 :D OK, found out the answer to my own question!  Its a 16h X 21w X 1d super cool parallel flow from Old Air Products. At 14 fins/ inch it allows for more air flow to the radiator as opposed to the 16 or 18 fins/inch of the American Condenser. Coupled to a 12 inch Spal condenser cooling fan with appropriate switches on the receiver dryer and Sanden rotary compressor, I am producing 34F vent temp at 1000rpm, OAT 98-101F. It has taken several mock ups to position everything correctly to minimize/eliminate hood opening interference but it works very well for a r-134 conversion and I can now drive this car through out the Texas summer.
