Automotive Vapour absorption cooling system for cars

AI Thread Summary
Vapor absorption cooling systems for cars could potentially utilize exhaust gases for air conditioning, offering a novel approach to vehicle cooling. The efficiency of this method is questioned, particularly regarding heat loss in heat exchangers that separate exhaust heat from the passenger compartment. Traditional air conditioning relies on shaft power, while an absorption system would leverage waste heat, suggesting possible energy savings. Further investigation into the practicality and efficiency of this system is warranted. Overall, the concept presents an interesting opportunity for enhancing automotive cooling systems.

It is for A/C functioning.

India, and Indian equivalent of EPA is not familiar to me; in the
USA you'll lose more than the "waste heat" is worth in heat exchangers that "isolate" it from the passenger compartment.
 
Since the normal AC primarily uses shaft power and an absorption system would use the waste exhaust heat, I would think there would be a savings. It's worth looking into in some more detail...

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
