Reply to "Condenser failure, Suggestions on upgrade?"

A Hudson ... my advise .. and I;m going to do this myself ..so I;m interested in what you find ...is call the vendors and see what they recommend ..because R134A operates at different pressures compared to what the old R12 ... therefore this impacts condesor size and fan requirements and also the TXV up at the evaporator has to be changed. also the R134a has a different chemical make up so the hose material and seals have to be of a different material otherwise ..you will need more then sealant. I apologize for some generalization ..but my expertize is in commercial HVAC but the basics apply to an automobile system also. Same as the old R-22 to the new R410A in your home ..the two are really not compatible .. thats why the 134 coversion doesnt really get cold enough.
