Maybe I'm missing something but a car A/C doesn't remove heat very quickly and it seems to me that it will be overloaded once air flow gets much above what the HVAC fan puts out. Add in compressor drive losses and I'm guessing you will have a net loss at the crank. But that's just my guess - it would be interesting to hear from someone who knows thermodynamics and could run some numbers.

Yes, I can't imagine it could net you much if anything. I hate driving with the AC on as I can feel the drop in power and the drop in fuel mileage. But apparently I'm just a lazy member expecting Zat Zuma to do all the work ;-P
Oh well, this week I will talk to a coworker that has experimented with such a system. /Z/ |
