So... Im thinking about a portable way to make an A/C system for my v8...
But. here are the limitations. I will not rob any hp by putting on a compressor. (more belts to possibly fail) The unit has to be completely removable The unit cant cost more than 150 in parts or 200 premade. Here are a couple of options that im thinking. along with pro's/cons ICE BOX Build a box that holds ice packs and ice, throw some fans, some switches, ect, and get some ice cold air coming at me. Pro's. Cheap, 20 bucks in airplane fans, metal/wood is cheep, Plastic sealing, Mesh for the ice to sit on, switches, and an lighter plug.. Cons. Sealing it will be a problem, Drain off might cause some issues, Ice will only last an hour max, ice packs will be maybe 2 hours cold. PREMADE Couple of company's are out there making beverage coolers and warmers.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005R2M...&n=15684181 http://www.globalsources.com/manufacturers/Car-Cooler.html Even http://www.kooleraire.com/index.htm Pro's.. No fab... Cons.. Not for cooling the car, but food Thermoelectric... Now it gets interesting... I read some stuff, and noticed most of the coolers are using this thermo electric thing... Now how can I make this into something useful? If I understand it right, one polarity heats up one plate, and one polarity freezes another plate. So.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Thermoelectric-Peltier...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Gigantic-62mm-350-Watt...1QQcmdZViewItem If I used them instead of ice... I might get some pretty darn good cooling output?!? But what about power usage? Those little things I just dont understand... Anyone want to help me and tell me if im dreaming? Thanks Andrew |
