I've had a bit of trouble trying to find an answer to this question. I'm hoping maybe ya'll can help.
I'm wonding if any company makes an oil cooler that is Freon/R12/R134/etc to oil cooler instead of an air to oil cooler. I have a car that will have AC and needs an oil cooler. It seemed smart to run a small portion of the AC refrigerant to cool the oil (no air required). But I can't find any reference of anyone having done this before or anyone selling units. |

DJsRepS is correct on the pressure increase from the added load being a Baaaad thing, automotive A/C's weren't designed for that. Plus, the added heat would definitely effect the operation of the high/low pressure switches in the system.
Neat concept tho.....Hey, how about mounting a residential window unit in your front trunk, and using a power inverter to run it!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
