Detailed Product Description

The TYC 3788 A/C condenser features a parallel flow condenser design, which enhances the heat exchange process by allowing refrigerant to flow through multiple parallel tubes. This design improves cooling efficiency and reduces pressure drop within the system. The condenser core measures 27.38 inches in height, 16.63 inches in length, and 0.63 inches in thickness, providing a substantial surface area for effective heat transfer.

Included with the condenser is a receiver/drier, which plays a critical role in removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, helping to protect the A/C system components. Additionally, this condenser incorporates a transmission oil cooler, which helps maintain proper transmission fluid temperature, contributing to overall vehicle performance and longevity.
