Jack, I had read the same thing on tilting the condensers a bit. I have
not read the part about using a puller fan instead of a pusher. I would
like to read up on that. Where did you find that info? Mark Durham.

Mine are parallel flow and I never considered that the exit would need
to be the low point for the liquid to flow out.  I need to look but
just guessing I would bet mine are not tilted properly.  Thanks!

Hi Joel,
I'm no expert at this.  My condenser is in the trunk.
If you are using modern parallel flow type condensers instead of the older
serpentine flow type that were common in the past, it is my understanding
that the parallel flow condensers do not work well if truly horizontal.
When I bought my large parallel flow condenser for the trunk, the supplier
told me to make sure the outlet was a little lower than the inlet.  Vertical
isn't necessary, but truly horizontal is not good.  I was also told to
install puller, not pusher fans.
Hope this helps.
