Hi
i have been looking around online for solid information regarding my question but couldn't get some..
anyway, in the old days the R12 system had this kind of condensers:
now almost all of the vehicles with R134 systems have these condensers - AKA parallel flow condensers:
Problem is, that most of the AC parts suppliers here do not bother about such details and only sell the older style of condensers saying that they are usable with both refrigerants.. in case of an old car, one has to retrofit as OE parts are not available here. It is rare to find PF condensers and mostly the sizes do not match..
Anyways, question #1 is, will an R134 system perform optimally with the older style of condensers (shown in the first pic)?
Q#2 - will an old R12 system work good if only the condenser is changed to parallel flow - using R12? (assuming all other components are good?) - rephrasing: will R12 cool good enough with the parallel flow condenser?
would appreciate any input
thanks in advance
