DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser P/N:477-0665
Help your air conditioning shed cabin heat efficiently with a new 2004-2008 Acura TSX AC condenser from DENSO Auto Parts: part number 477-0652, an OE-quality air conditioning condenser. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The condenser is where the A/C system releases the heat it has pulled out of the cabin. Hot, high-pressure refrigerant from the compressor flows through its tubes and fins and gives up heat to the passing air. It condenses into a liquid before continuing through the system.
Signs a condenser may need replacing include warmer-than-normal air from the vents, refrigerant or oil residue on the core, and bent, clogged or corroded fins. If a leaking or damaged condenser is the cause, this unit replaces it. Installing it opens the sealed A/C system, so the refrigerant should be recovered and the system evacuated and recharged to the vehicle's specification.
