hi
Done many 2nd condenser in series connection . Design of first factory condenser can be bigger or but usually smaller than the aftermarket second unit thats installed . Combinations of tube/fin and serpentine and parallel flow take your pick they all work in series . Common pressures on high side are 150--180psi .
The 2nd condenser is always cooled by electric fans .
application
Done this to body trucks , cranes , pickups etc
Not uncommon for trucks to idle for 2-4hrs
weather conditions
Always 90f upto 110f common
Desert and tropical
Pressures
150--180 psi under ALL conditions
In practice a perfect identical twin parallel system would be great but mostly unachievable .
Eg Toyota fitted many second condensers in series no problems
