I bought a used home recently and it has an old chrysler airtemp unit.
The Model number of the condenser is 1263-020 the compressor is a
chrysler model 3002-10 the condenser isn't very large at all. "thick
coil though".
anyone have any info on what size this is would be helpful. the
neighbors say almost whole subdivision was built using this brand. I
have looked around and there are still allot of them out here.
Thanks

In the past 20 years i've been faced with this problem may times.
Because this Brand has been out of production for may years, finding a past
Airtemp Dealer is tuff. Try call all HVAC dealers in your city, Someone may
know a former dealer.
Most Of these systems used an Expansion valve to control the freon flow in the
indoor coil, this valve has a capacty rating marked on the
valve or on the coil name plate itself, this may give you a clue.
The best option before replaceing this system is to have a HVAC dealer
Calcalate the heatload on the home and install the proper size system.

My father's HVAC contracting co installed a bunch or Chrysler units. I
used to service them.
I can't recall what the capacity of the 1263-020 is, but I'll ask him he
has an amazing recall for this kind of useless data.
You might also try posting the FLA (RLA) for the unit. The folks here
will be able to guess within a 1/2 ton. Finally, if all else fails get
the numbers off the compressor can itself, Service Parts supply houses
should be able to cross these to arrive at a capacity number...providing
the unit doesn't have a Chrysler compressor.

Don,

The Airtemp 1263-02 was:

Year btu/hr eer
1973 29,000 6.6
1974 31,000 6.7
1976 28,000 5.8
1977 28,000 5.8

The seventh digit was probably a series number. I bet the zero
indicates one of the earlier years. Look at the serial number and see
if you see a 73, 74, 75, 76 or 77 in the number somewhere.

1263-020
^ series number, usually a design sequence change

I have two sources for Chrysler Airtemp. Comco in St. Louis, 314-535-6332;
and Magnetek in Fairfield, NJ 201-227-7800. These guys should be able to
help you.
