The genuine XCMG 380604106 Condenser is a high‑efficiency air conditioning heat exchanger designed for motor grader cab climate control systems.
This OEM 380604106 condenser is manufactured from parallel flow aluminum tubes with enhanced fin geometry, offering superior heat rejection in compact spaces.
The condenser converts high‑pressure refrigerant gas into liquid by dissipating heat to the outside air. A damaged or clogged condenser causes poor A/C performance and high head pressure.
Engineered for XCMG GR135, GR165, GR180, GR215, GR260, GR300, and GR350 motor graders, this condenser is a direct replacement for original equipment with identical mounting brackets and port connections.
The unit features a durable black epoxy coating and reinforced tube‑to‑header joints for vibration resistance. Replacing a failing condenser with genuine XCMG 380604106 restores full cooling capacity and protects the compressor from overheating.
High ambient temperatures and debris plugging are common causes of condenser failure. XCMG 380604106 guarantees OE airflow fit and corrosion resistance for long service life in dusty mining or road construction environments.

The 380604106 condenser is placed in front of the engine radiator and rejects heat from the refrigerant to the outside air. Without a functioning condenser, the A/C system cannot cool the cab.
A plugged or damaged condenser causes high head pressure, which can overwork the compressor and lead to premature compressor failure. Proper condenser operation is essential for compressor longevity.
In hot climates, a degraded condenser cannot lower refrigerant temperature sufficiently, resulting in cabin temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), operator discomfort and fatigue.
Replacing a failed condenser with genuine XCMG 380604106 restores proper subcooling, lowers discharge pressure, and provides effective cooling even in extreme ambient conditions.
Each 380604106 condenser uses parallel flow microchannel technology. Refrigerant flows through multiple small flat tubes, increasing surface area for heat exchange while reducing internal volume.
Louvered fins between tubes enhance airflow turbulence and improve heat transfer efficiency by up to 30% compared to serpentine designs. The brazed all‑aluminum construction eliminates gaskets and minimizes leak paths.
A black hydrophilic epoxy coating protects against stone chips, salt, and chemicals. The coating also promotes water sheeting, reducing accumulation of mud and debris.
XCMG pressure‑tests every condenser at 4.0 MPa (580 psi) to verify leak integrity. Torsional vibration tests validate resistance to engine and chassis vibration.
To replace a damaged condenser, recover the refrigerant using an A/C recovery machine. Remove the grille and engine side panel to access the condenser.
Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines, and remove the mounting bolts (typically 4× M8). Lift out the old condenser and clean the mounting area of debris.
Install the new 380604106 condenser with new O‑rings lubricated with PAG oil. Torque the line connections to 25 Nm. Recharge the system with the specified refrigerant weight (usually 1.2‑1.5 kg).
Start the engine, turn on A/C, and verify that the condenser fan engages and air outlet temperature drops below 10°C (50°F). Check for leaks with an electronic leak detector.
Never reuse old O‑rings or a damaged condenser. Keep a spare 380604106 in your parts inventory for quick turnaround during peak summer months.
Debris (leaves, mud) blocking airflow, stone impact puncturing tubes, internal desiccant bag rupture from overcharging, and external corrosion from road salt.
Also, a failed compressor can send metallic debris into the condenser, clogging microchannels. If the condenser is replaced, always flush the system and replace the receiver‑dryer.
Inspect the condenser every 250 operating hours for external damage, bent fins, and clogging. Use a soft brush to clean debris from the front face – never use a pressure washer, which can bend fins.
Check system pressures annually. High head pressure (above 2.5 MPa at 35°C ambient) indicates condenser inefficiency or blocked airflow. Replace if average fin temperature exceeds 55°C.
Expected service life is 5‑7 years under normal conditions. In dusty or corrosive environments (mining, coastal), replace every 3‑4 years to maintain cooling performance.
When replacing the condenser, always install a new receiver‑dryer and expansion valve to ensure a clean, moisture‑free system. Use the manufacturer’s recommended refrigerant and oil quantity.
Genuine XCMG 380604106 condensers are backed by a 12‑month warranty. Regional warehouses: Houston (USA), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Dubai (UAE), Shanghai (China).
Standard air freight delivers within 3‑7 business days worldwide. Express 24‑48 hour shipping available for urgent A/C repairs. Bulk orders (5+ units) receive volume discounts.
Aftermarket condensers often use lower fin density, thinner tubes, and poor brazing, leading to premature leaks and reduced cooling. Genuine XCMG 380604106 ensures OE fit, heat rejection, and durability.
Don’t let a clogged or punctured condenser ruin operator comfort and compressor life. Keep a genuine spare condenser in your parts inventory for the summer season.
Order the genuine XCMG 380604106 Condenser today and maintain consistent cab cooling for thousands of operating hours in the harshest environments.
