I am again tinkering with the idea of replacing my condenser with a PF condenser. I would like to purchase from ACKits, as I have in the past, but they don't have a drop in replacement. However, I have seen one from American Condensers which states it is a parallel flow and the picture seems to confirm this. Upon further research, I have found that they use COPPER tubing and ALUMINUM for the fins. Is this a red flag? Would I be better off getting a universal all aluminum PF condenser and having new hoses or jumpers made? The drop in would make things a lot easier, but not at the expense of a poorly made condenser.
While smaller tubed copper T & F condensers running parallel are an improvement. It is by no means performs like the Aluminum PF condenser ACKits.com offers.
-------------------------
This is the actual condenser I'm talking about. It looks very similar to the universal aluminum parallel condensers, except for the fittings, of course.
That's a good design.
-------------------------
A round t&F condenser running parallel or not with never cool as well as an aluminum condenser with vaned passages of the same size.
