Detailed Product Description

The CSF 10542 A/C condenser is engineered with a parallel flow core, which allows refrigerant to pass through multiple flat tubes simultaneously. This design increases heat exchange efficiency compared to traditional tube-and-fin condensers. The core thickness of 5/8 inch balances compact size with effective cooling capacity, while the core width and length (16 3/5 inches by 26 1/2 inches) provide ample surface area for heat dissipation. The condenser is housed in a box measuring 35 inches long, 19 2/3 inches wide, and 4 1/7 inches high, weighing just over 10 pounds, making it manageable for installation and replacement.

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

About the Aluminum Parallel Flow Product Line
