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.
Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications
- Replacement condenser for Ford MKS models requiring a parallel flow condenser
- Suitable for Lincoln MKS vehicles with OEM specifications matching part number 3788
- Compatible with Ford Taurus models needing an integrated A/C condenser and transmission oil cooler
- Addresses issues such as reduced cooling efficiency, refrigerant leaks, and transmission overheating
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the TYC 3788 A/C condenser, ensure the system is properly evacuated and recharged with the correct refrigerant type and amount.
