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?

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 |
