Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This A/C condenser from CSF is engineered with a parallel flow core, which allows refrigerant to flow through multiple channels simultaneously. This design improves heat exchange efficiency compared to traditional tube-and-fin condensers. The core dimensions—5/8 inch thickness, 15 inches width, and 26 3/5 inches length—are optimized for the Acura RDX's HVAC system requirements. The condenser is housed in a box measuring 20 2/7 inches in height, 34 2/3 inches in length, and 4 1/3 inches in width, weighing just over 9 pounds, which helps maintain overall vehicle weight balance.

Both the inlet and outlet tubes use block fittings, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant connection to the vehicle's refrigerant lines. Additionally, this condenser comes supplied with a built-in drier, which helps remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, protecting the A/C system components and enhancing longevity.
