A/C design

[mmtronic]

Dear all,

i am trying to design an A/C for my small car ( fiat 127 ) model 1983 ... i will use hermetic DC compressor 12volt but i donot know the suitable evaporator and condenser for this loop , any comment in this design will be appreciated .

thx

my advice to u is try and find out the total BTU of the car and work from there the formular is volume times 7.5 i think and y a 12 v compressor didnt the car come with a belt drive compressor

i use DC 12v compressor to avoid loading of belt rotary compressor on the car motor ( 903cc ) .

Will the headlights DIM everytime the compressor kicks in?

Having just got back from a week in Egypt (Shrarm El Sheikh) using headlights (especially at night) is totally optional !!

So dimming lights when the compressor kicks in is hardly likely to be an issue.

One evening at about midnight we saw a Vespa scooter no main lights on just the left indicator flashing. LOL

Loved the place though.

Don't be silly

We all know you can't fit air conditioning to a camel.
They don't have enough hourse power

Why bother?
I have a suspicious feeling that the compressor will cost more than the value of your car!
I would just cut the roof off and wahey....free cooling!

no brother , i am thinking in driving a camel insted of my car , at least to save the cost of A/C .....try to read more about refrigeration solution and to know how to use the available fasilities for ur life ....brother......it will be a disaster if all members of this forum thinking like u .

i think that i will replace my car with a camel at least to save the cost of the A/C ...brother .....try to read more about update subjects about refrigeration and how to use its facilities in ur life ....it will be disaster if all members r like u in thinking .

Best regards

A little bit of humour do'es no harm

If you want a serious answer to you question then more information will be required. What car is it that you want to cool? What is the ambient temp the car will be running in? where do you intend to fit the coils for the system?

Try to lighten up a little, people may have been sarcastic to your initial question because it sounds such a funny idea. If you are serious about doing this then you need to think about some of the barriers that confront this project. You have an idea of the compressor you want but how will you source this part? How do you intend to source the evap and cond? Do you intend to use car parts or standard commercial parts? Why can't you just go to a car reclaim / scrapyard and get the parts or parts that work other similar sized cars?

Cheers taz.
