Saw this on line, wondering if one of these could mounted in the front trunk and ducted into the fresh air system's vents?
Looks like it only draws about 7.5 amps at 13.5 volts (and I'm going to be installing one of Peter Newman's 160 amp alternators in the '71 914) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) https://www.banggood.com/12V-24V-Small-Car-...ur_warehouse=CN |

And a whole lot of air flow to and from the unit. Don't forget that.
Remember that any A/C system is just moving heat from one place (e.g., the inside of the cabin) to another place (hopefully the outside of the car). Sticking the condenser in an enclosed area will simply heat up that area until no more heat can be rejected into that area, at which point the A/C will do absolutely nothing. --DD |
