Details on the Aluminum Parallel Flow Product Line

The Aluminum Parallel Flow line by CSF features condensers constructed with parallel flow technology, which allows refrigerant to flow through multiple flat tubes in parallel. This design improves heat exchange efficiency and reduces pressure drop compared to traditional tube-and-fin condensers. The 10517 part benefits from this technology, providing reliable cooling performance and durability for BMW vehicles requiring precise HVAC components.

Product Description and Specifications

This A/C condenser is built with a 5/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 16 1/7 inches wide and 23 6/7 inches long, offering a balance between size and cooling capacity. The condenser’s box dimensions ensure it fits securely within the HVAC system housing. Both inlet and outlet tubes use block fittings, which provide a secure and leak-resistant connection to the vehicle’s refrigerant lines. The inclusion of sub cool design technology enhances the condenser’s ability to lower refrigerant temperature, improving overall air conditioning efficiency in BMW models such as the 330Ci and 325xi.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for leaking or damaged A/C condensers in BMW 128i, 323i, and 328i xDrive
• Restores proper refrigerant flow and cooling performance in BMW 330i and M3 air conditioning systems
• Addresses reduced cooling efficiency caused by clogged or corroded condensers
• Solves issues related to refrigerant leaks at block fitting connections
• Improves HVAC system reliability in BMW X1 and Z4 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle’s refrigerant system is fully evacuated before removing the old condenser. Verify compatibility with the specific BMW model and engine variant. Handle the condenser carefully to avoid damage to the aluminum core and fittings. Properly torque block fitting connections to prevent leaks. After installation, recharge the A/C system with the correct refrigerant type and quantity as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
