Looking at adding a parallel flow condenser to my 914 and was wondering what the size of the original dealer installed tube and fin condenser was?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Dallas ? We have a new one in the metroplex ...thats great. You'll have to let us know what you're workin' on. I was asking some A/C questions myself just the other day, so I'll be interested in what you find out abouth the condensor too. Good luck! |

13x14 and 10x18. ~2" Thick. Yes I have one of each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The condenser is just a heat exchanger, so the bigger the better, with lots of air flow. |

The original system was designed around R12 and R134a is not as thermally efficient as R12. So for a R134a conversion a larger evaporator helps even more. Jim |

Dimensions of the overall enclosure of my (AFAIK) dealer installed A/C condensor ('73 2.0), as it would have been positioned in the car:
Width (side to side): 20 3/4" Length (front to rear): 13 7/8" Height (top to bottom): 5 1/8" This enclosure includes space at the front for a fan. I have a photograph of it if you need it. |
