Thread: Confused n Annoyed

I am not familar with the defenders,but can you lower the air con heat exchanger so that it sit lower than the intercooler

The condenser has to go somewhere - possibly better in front of the intercooler than the radiator, as it will only reduce power, not possibly cause overheating.

John

the condenser sits across both the radiator and I/C in a 'fender, but where else is it going to go ?? There really is a limit to space in that area.


I removed mine four years ago as it was totally choked with seeds, locusts, etc, and found I couldn't clean it adequateely and never obtained a new one (which are relatively cheap) but you may not wish to put up with the lack of cool cabin air in summer.......

Of course you could always rig up a water spray to cool the intercooler with, say a switch on the floor below the throttle pedal that kicked it in when you needed it the most.

Hey Stevo, just saw thgat your'e in Tassie so what's the gripe ?
Summer only lasts ten minutes down there.........

gee thanks rick, and FYI, it does last a few months, even here

I would think that the amount of heat that the A/C will put into the intercooler will have almost no effect on the way the vehicle runs. The drag of the compressor on the pulley will certainly have a greater influence.

who fitted the Air Co & where ? (i'll even go to tassie)
I'm about to buy a 130 fender (if I sell the 110 turbo isuzu in the for sale section, free plug )
and the 130 doesn't have any a/c
I have been looking but haven't yet found a kit
where where where, who makes the kit
thanks
Jase

PS yes a/c condensor is always in front radiator & intercooler
in theroy not good, but in practice makes little differance

but temperatures under 25*C don't count
