Abstract (en)
A condenser (1) primarily for use in an automotive air conditioning system has a first and second heat transfer tube arrangements (4a,4b) in upstream and downstream portions of the condenser of different hydraulic diameters. The hydraulic diameters of the downstream tube arrangement is typically of larger value. The arrangement provides amelioration of reduced flow 'choking' effects, particularly for sub-cooled liquid refrigerant passes. <IMAGE>
