hi
Done many 2nd condenser in series connection . Design of first factory condenser can be bigger or but usually smaller than the aftermarket second unit thats installed . Combinations of tube/fin and serpentine and parallel flow take your pick they all work in series . Common pressures on high side are 150--180psi .
The 2nd condenser is always cooled by electric fans .
application
Done this to body trucks , cranes , pickups etc
Not uncommon for trucks to idle for 2-4hrs
weather conditions
Always 90f upto 110f common
Desert and tropical
Pressures
150--180 psi under ALL conditions

In practice a perfect identical twin parallel system would be great but mostly unachievable .
Eg Toyota fitted many second condensers in series no problems

4" x 26" , and obviously intended for series cooling. P/N 4682591

Well, I'm glad to at least hear the series idea works.....Now I have to package it correctly.

I have a 1,200 HP turbo Trans Am going together and I live in Ft. Lauderdale, so A/C is a must. As long as the condenser(s) are away from the radiator, engine cooling and the cooling for the condenser(s) will be sufficient.

The way its been set up there's no way the factory single 26 x 15 condenser will fit anywhere.....So I need two smaller ones.

Hi, I'm in Broward and struggling to keep my 89 e350 cool. What shop are you using. Thanks very much
