Detailed Product Description

The TYC 97242 A/C evaporator core features a parallel flow design that enhances refrigerant distribution and heat absorption within the HVAC system. Measuring 10.91 inches in height, 10.83 inches in length, and 1.50 inches thick, this core fits precisely in the designated space for efficient installation. The inlet and outlet fittings utilize a block design, with diameters of 0.44 inches and 0.59 inches respectively, ensuring secure connections to the vehicle’s refrigerant lines. This evaporator core is engineered to meet the specifications required for Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, and INFINITI JX35 and QX60 models, providing a direct replacement for worn or damaged components.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores proper cooling performance in Nissan Altima and INFINITI QX60 HVAC systems
  • Resolves refrigerant leaks caused by corroded or damaged evaporator cores
  • Eliminates reduced airflow and inefficient cabin cooling in Nissan Pathfinder and Murano
  • Addresses evaporator core blockages that impact A/C system pressure and function
  • Prevents moisture buildup and associated odors inside the vehicle cabin

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the TYC 97242 evaporator core requires access to the vehicle’s HVAC housing, which may involve dashboard removal depending on the model. Ensure all refrigerant is properly evacuated before beginning work. Verify that the inlet and outlet block fittings align correctly with the vehicle’s refrigerant lines to avoid leaks. It is recommended to replace the receiver/drier or accumulator and perform a system vacuum and recharge after installation to maintain optimal A/C performance.
