NRF Air Condenser for OPEL and Vauxhall Meriva

The NRF Air Condenser 350034 is a high‑performance cooling component designed specifically for the OPEL Meriva and Vauxhall Meriva models. It serves as the core element of the vehicle’s air conditioning system, responsible for dissipating heat from the refrigerant and ensuring optimal cabin comfort.

Key Functionalities

• Heat Dissipation: The condenser efficiently transfers thermal energy from the refrigerant to the surrounding air, maintaining low temperatures inside the vehicle’s cabin.
• Integrated Dryer (Essiccatore): Built‑in desiccant material absorbs moisture and contaminants, protecting the refrigeration cycle and extending component life.
• Easy Fit Installation: Designed for quick replacement without extensive modifications, reducing labor time during maintenance.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade aluminum alloy with protective coatings to resist corrosion and mechanical wear.

Compatibility Overview

The condenser is engineered for a wide range of Meriva variants, including:

• OPEL Meriva A (1.4L, 1.6L, 1.8L) – model years 2003‑2010.
• Vauxhall Meriva A (1.4L, 1.6L, 1.8L) – model years 2003‑2010.
• Meriva MPV and other MPV derivatives sharing the same chassis.

It matches original equipment numbers such as 13303641, 1850221, 1850447, and 95513671. The part is also compatible with various engine configurations (4‑cyl, 16V Twinport) and transmission types.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide Highlights
