Air Conditioning Condenser - heat exchanger in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, mounted ahead of the engine cooling radiator in the front airflow path.

The condenser receives high-pressure refrigerant vapour from the compressor discharge and rejects heat to the passing airstream, condensing the refrigerant to a liquid before it passes on to the receiver drier and expansion valve. Condenser efficiency therefore sets the vent temperature the system can achieve; a fouled matrix or damaged fins typically show up as poor cooling at low road speed, when ram air through the front panel is at its lowest.

Specified for 4.0L V8 EFI petrol applications with factory air conditioning.

The refrigerant circuit must be recovered, evacuated and recharged by a suitably qualified technician when the condenser is replaced.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STC3969LR air conditioning condenser for?
The STC3969LR is an air conditioning condenser for the Land Rover Defender with the 4.0L V8 EFI petrol engine and factory air conditioning. It sits at the front of the vehicle and sheds heat from the refrigerant to cool the cabin.
Does this fit my Defender?
The STC3969LR fits the Defender 1987 to 2006 with the 4.0L V8 EFI petrol engine and air conditioning. It's specific to air-conditioned V8 models, so confirm your engine and that A/C is fitted before ordering.
What are the signs of a failing condenser?
A failing condenser usually shows as weak or warm air from the A/C, refrigerant leaks from damage or corrosion, or debris blocking its fins on the V8 Defender. A leaking condenser needs replacing before the system can be recharged.
Where is the condenser located?
The A/C condenser mounts at the front of the Defender, typically ahead of the radiator, so it gets airflow. It connects into the air conditioning refrigerant circuit on the 4.0 V8 EFI models.
