If I recall, the one these guys are marketing as a replacement for the
stock condenser is a four- pass, which would effectively double the
surface area of the condenser.
I hope I wasn't giving the impression that the cross flow aspect was a big
deal, as it really doesn't matter which way the refrigerant flows, it's
more about surface area and heat transfer.

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.
