Detailed Product Description
The CSF Aluminum Parallel Flow A/C Condenser 10596 features a parallel flow design that enhances heat exchange efficiency by allowing refrigerant to flow through multiple flat tubes in parallel. This design improves cooling capacity and reduces pressure drop compared to traditional tube-and-fin condensers. The core thickness of 5/7 inches balances compact size with effective thermal performance, while the core width of 16 inches and length of 29 3/5 inches provide ample surface area for heat dissipation. The condenser is housed in a box measuring 7 2/3 inches in height, 40 5/9 inches in length, and 20 2/3 inches in width, making it compatible with the specified Buick and Pontiac models. Both the inlet and outlet tubes use block fittings, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant connection to the vehicle’s A/C system.
