that's right. no a/c. this is the jeep that i used more for trail riding. i dumped alot of unnecessary items to improve power and mileage. my point was, that by dumping the a/c compressor, you gain noticable increases in mileage and power. which is a much larger advantage of putting this new system in vehicles than just getting rid of freon. also the system would be much cheaper to install and maintain.
Well, fudge. I thought you had pulled off some cool conversion. I think it was the idea you installed a bigger alternator that made me think that.
When they are disengaged only the pully spins.
I on the the other hand know how to build an AC for a car that runs without drive power.
Just put another heat engine between the cooling system and ambiant. Use the power output from this to turn a regular AC compressor. Viola free AC.
Of course every auto maker know how to do this also. The costs for the heat engine are prohibitive. For those of you without an engineering backgroud. Heat engine == device using a working fluid used to eather make energy from a heat differential or pump heat using energy. Basically you build a 'steam' engine to run off the radiator heat.
