Technical Description and Specifications

The CSF 10678 A/C condenser features a parallel flow core construction that allows refrigerant to flow through multiple flat tubes in parallel, increasing surface area contact and improving heat transfer. The core measures 27 1/2 inches in length, 12 1/2 inches in width, and has a thickness of 5/7 inches. The condenser is housed in a box measuring 37 2/5 inches long, 15 5/9 inches high, and 9 4/9 inches wide, weighing approximately 15 1/3 pounds. Both the inlet and outlet tubes utilize block fitting and tube connections, facilitating secure installation. Additionally, the built-in oil cooler supports the vehicle’s transmission or engine oil cooling needs, integrating multiple functions into one component.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

  • Compatible with Ford Explorer models requiring A/C condenser replacement
  • Resolves reduced cooling efficiency due to clogged or damaged condensers
