Cooling-Circuit Technical Notes

This component works between the compressor discharge side and the downstream metering circuit. Its role is to reject heat without introducing leakage, blockage or incorrect fitting alignment.

Normal cooling depends on the complete system: condenser airflow, fan operation, compressor condition, refrigerant charge, clean lines and properly sealed connections must work together.

Checks for Accurate Selection

A reliable match for BUICK GL8 requires agreement in OE number 52478943, core size, hose orientation and bracket geometry. Do not rely only on a similar front-view image.

Confirm the primary number and each usable cross-reference.

Match vehicle year, engine, market and production period.

Compare core width, height, thickness and overall frame size.

Check fittings, pipe angles, brackets and dryer configuration.

Review original-part photographs when application data is incomplete.

Professional Installation and System Protection

During service, protect the fins and avoid bending the refrigerant tubes. Complete the repair with the specified evacuation, charge quantity and operating-pressure checks.

Supply Quality Review

Inspection may cover tube-and-fin appearance, fitting cleanliness, mounting-point position and protective packaging before the goods leave the warehouse.

Ordering Specification Notes

For a controlled BUICK GL8 sourcing decision, combine 52478943 and BK01009-017 with vehicle year, engine, market and production date. Ask the installer to note any previous A/C conversion or front-end modification. A written comparison of core size, brackets and pipe ends helps purchasing teams separate genuine interchange evidence from a merely similar product appearance.
