Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The APDI Condenser 7013868 utilizes a parallel flow core design, which allows refrigerant to flow through multiple flat tubes in parallel, increasing heat exchange efficiency and reducing pressure drop. The core measures 13-3/8 inches in height, 25-1/4 inches in length, and 5/8 inch in thickness, providing a compact yet effective cooling surface. Both the inlet and outlet fittings use block connections, ensuring secure and leak-resistant attachment to the vehicle’s HVAC system. This condenser also includes a receiver/drier, which helps to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, protecting the A/C system components and maintaining optimal performance.
