Air Con Condenser Fans - Air Flow Direction

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Hi, Wix.
Thank you for the extra info and the photo.

Don't know the spec of the motor but since it's for the rad fan, should be enough flow rate.
You'll know when measuring the pressure on a hot summer day.
Should become handy for other owners in the future.

Had a quick look at your build thread as well.
Since you have disturbed the a/c system and replacing the condensers using new/used parts, best flushing the system while you have extra space.
And seal it unless you are evacuating the system immediately afterwards.
As it's off topic from this thread, I won't go into detail.

The earlier car engine bay fan looked like it would fit and do the job...

Yes, it was our discussion that set me off on what else would fit. Problem with the engine bay motor, is trying to find one/two for a reasonable price, as they have the NSX tax associated, as do secondhand condenser motors. The odd one I could find, had asking prices not far off the cost of brand new OEM ones from Amayama.

Kaz, when everything is back together I'm taking the car to Bee Cool in Kettering. A few members have been there, so I spoke to them last week. They've very helpful & they have recommended I get the system refilled with a refrigerant called RS24, which is a direct replacement to R12, rather than go down the R134 conversion route. I'll let them do all they need to do in flushing and re-pressurizing the system.

It looks like the system hasn't worked in many years, so until this work is under taken, I won't know what other things may be faulty. Hopefully nothing.
