Did you recently turn on your DX systems only to find your Condenser Coils are not working? Simple fix right? Unfortunately, no. If you get lucky, you can send us the model number of the unit, and there’s a great chance we’ve already built it. In the case that we do not have that model number on file, you have two options. You can go back to the OEM and wait two months for an OEM part while paying through the roof. Or you can call Capital Coil, and we’ll walk you through the engineering it takes to replace a condenser coil.
Very rarely do condenser coils ever freeze so the first thing you’re going to want to know is if your coil died of corrosion, old age, or possibly vibration. Old age is obviously preferable because with a few easy dimensions, we’ll have enough to price up your duplicate coil. Condenser coils are usually outside and are easily accessible for measurements and digital pictures. With just the size, the rows, and fins/inch, you can get a price. And digital pictures of the headers and return bends will give us a good idea of the circuiting and sub-cooler circuits.
If the coil has been eaten away by corrosion, it was an improper design to begin with. Most people don’t know that salt in the air will ruin aluminum fins within a year or two. There are two ways to combat this.
