It'* hot out. Yesterday'* high was 113 at my house, and the "real feel" was like a million or something. Anyways, I get in my car that has pretty good air conditioning, and it takes a lot longer than usual to get cool. I know, I know, "duh, it'* 113 degrees!" . . . but it got me thinking:

Would there be an issue with running an oversize condenser on an otherwise normal GM car? I'm thinking like I find the right parts to stack two condensers where there is currently one, then run them in series:


Would this be a problem?

I'd theoretically stack the cooler unit in front of the warmer unit. any reason to stack them the other way around?

Would this have any adverse performance in extremely cold weather?

Other thoughts?

The best way to approach that would be to get more air across your existing condenser. Maybe upgrade' the fan.

I thought of that too. The first couple of cars I was thinking of doing this on already move lots of air, and have no issue keeping coolant cool, I just want to improve the air conditioning without adding any strain, especially to the electrical system. If double etc. condensers wouldn't present some kind of issue (and will do some good), I'd greatly prefer it.

. . . especially on my motorhome. Plenty of room to stack an additional condenser, but I don't want to add any electrical load etc.

The compressor is matched with the system and the main energy it uses is to pump the refrigerant through the condenser. You would likely need to have a higher capacity for it as well.

Ah okay. That makes sense. Thanks!
