well that was what I am thinking of. Use the actual coolant (Refridgerant 135a I believe) and use that to cool. I got a hardcore condensor pull from a Honda Civic (http://www.geocities.com/sonixos/). As for the evaporator, as I understand it from a brief talk with Amperage a while ago, its basically a think piece of copper, maybe 1/2" thick that conducts the heat from the core to the refridgerant causing it to gain energy (Heat) and then changing phase to liquid and then go back to the cooling stuff. Is that correct? and could someone explain how the coolant is then cooled again? Oh yeah another thing, could I steal some cool gas from my central air conditioning system? My PC is right next to the A/C room. hehehehe . . just a thought.
