And where do you think the alternator gets its power from? Rolling Eyes

Seriously though, the airconditioner-cold-air-induction idea gets floated on pretty much every car forum in existence on a regular basis (and yes I've seen it here at least once before). Unfortunately a few pesky details called the laws of thermodynamics prevent this from working.



heh heh... so what about using the air con expansion coil to cool say.. a 20L tank of glycol to sub zero temps, and running it thru your water to air IC Wink large capacity of water/glycol would take at least a little while to heat up, and must be better than using room temp air to cool the IC water...
sure you may need to slow down every now and again for the AC to catch up, but thats what lights are for Wink

fwiw, glycol cooling systems are whats used in the lovely beer taps with ice all over them!! mmmm cold beers!! Cool

Cya, Stewart

EDIT: great for dyno day runs too Wink
