Question on AC condensors, can they be run in series? Options

[boxsterfan]

Suppose a crazy person was thinking of A/C in their 914. Could such a crazy person run condensors in series behind the fog light grills?

Basically, the refrigerant (R134) would come from the compressor all the way up to the right front under the headlight, go through a condensor, come out of that condensor across the front of trunk, into a second condensor under the left head light area, and then back out to a receiver/dryer and through the rest of the system.

Obviously, there are some cuts you need to make in the front area behind the fog light grills, the condensors have to be small enough to fit under the headlights when close and for good enough air flow you have to have cut holes in the front wheel well behind the condensors.

I know someone on this board mounted some oil coolers in these locations (can't find the thread).

The question is can you find a pair of 11x13 condensers? Or Y fittings?

Plus for the amount of work involved, mounting in the trunk floor or engine lid makes a lot of sense.

I can definitely find condensors in that size or have them made custom. I believe the opening of the fog light grill is about 8.5" by 6".

You need to figure the temperature split first as a basis for design and then the condensor size.

Then figure the size and then a location where you can get adequate heat transfer.....free flow....inductive......ect.
