I think that what you guys are talking about are parallel flow
condensers vs. single channel serpentine and multi channel
serpentine flow condensers. All that cross flow means is the
freon moves in a perpendicular flow pattern to the air running
through the condenser. All condensers that I am aware of in cars
have the freon moving either from one side of the car to the
other. The air always moves from front to back through the
condenser or in a perpendicular pattern to the freon flow. The
original condensers on our cars are multi channel cross flow
condensers. The new ones that are up to 33% more efficient are
the parallel cross flow condensers.
I think that cross flow in regards to advertising to sell
condensers is just a buzz-word used by some companies to make it
seem that they have something better then others since as I said
they are all cross flow if they are used in a car. I don't even
remember ever seeing any evaporators that are not cross flow.
Come to think of it a parallel flow evaporator could probably
help as much in our cars vs the multichannel ones that are in
there now. I'll have to see if someone makes a replacement.

These are the guys who make the W123 conversion kits:

Doesn?t look like they?ve done much for a while. I may drop them a note about
a crossflow condenser for the 350SDL.

The cross flow condensers on the later cars are much more efficient with 134. I
have heard they have aftermarket ones available for the older cars. That would
make a big difference I would think.
