DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser P/N:477-0859
Help your air conditioning system shed heat efficiently with the DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser 477-0746, an OE-quality condenser that turns hot refrigerant vapor from the compressor back into liquid so the system can keep cooling the cabin. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2008-2012 Ford Taurus, 2009-2012 Ford Flex and 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Signs a condenser may need replacing include warm or weak airflow from the vents, reduced cooling at idle or in slow traffic, refrigerant or oil residue on the core, and bent, blocked or corroded fins. If a leaking or damaged condenser is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the system before replacing parts, and have the refrigerant recovered and the system evacuated and recharged as the service procedure directs.

What does an A/C condenser do?
It takes hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor and releases its heat to the outside air, condensing the vapor into liquid so the A/C system can keep cooling.
What helps this condenser last?
DENSO specifies a zinc diffusion layer and an advanced fin-and-tube design to enhance durability, along with a high-efficiency design intended to reduce compressor load.
What is involved in replacing an A/C condenser?
The refrigerant must be recovered before the old condenser comes out, and the system must be evacuated and recharged after installation. Follow the vehicle service information and use proper A/C equipment.
