Detailed Product Description

The TYC 4242 A/C condenser is engineered with a parallel flow condenser (PFC) configuration, which enhances heat dissipation by allowing refrigerant to flow through multiple parallel channels. This design improves cooling efficiency and reduces pressure drop within the system. The condenser core measures approximately 24.81 inches in height, 19 inches in length, and 0.63 inches in thickness, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange.

Included with the condenser is a receiver/drier component, which plays a critical role in removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, helping to maintain system integrity and prolong component life. The inlet and outlet sizes are 5/8 inch and 9/16 inch diameter respectively, ensuring proper fitment and connection with the vehicle’s existing A/C lines.
