Call this as some mad plan.
Note - could be done on jeeps , sumo etc . Not advisable to tinker around in new cars sedans etc.
OK coming to topic.
What is an AC.
Let me explain the cabin part alone.
The blower blows air in the cooling coil and it will loose its heat there and comes as a cool air to us.
this is the theory.
People as said install another roof ac in sumo/tavera/innova basic etc.
What is that roof ac?
A sleek unit with smallest capacity blower , with cooling coils but not big as the main unit. Say the main unit has 20 lines running through it , this has only 2 to 3 .
Installing this roof ac itself helps cooling better and quick.
The sleek unit itself cost 12k. plus the pipes etc.
Plan as for the sierra
At the time electric fan conversion for radiator, i removed the ac belts and yet to fix since then.
Planned , why not improve ac in this car , since its damn difficult for people esp in the rear.
So after searching , got a superking blower with cooling coil for 1000/-
cooling coil was damaged , hence this rate.
New unit cost 12000/- original and 8000/- kind of duplicate.
Then after about a month , have got the superking original coil for 3000/-
Yet to buy other thing like pipes etc.
The thing is
Blower and cooling coils bought - ok
what to do with the one in the car ?
it was not leaking , but its capacity was not enough.
Have planned to make some modification and use this too in car , at rear with custom make ducts at rear.
Mechanics said , when a single thing is enough to cool the car , 2 will make people freeze.
I hope it must work fine , since mine is normal top. Not plywood or insulated material like in modern car. it will be hot as hell.
also big glass area and non - sun filmed car.
Worrying if the compressor could take the load?
already its 70% life? my guess . Working fine , but guessing since the age.
Or i have to install some bigger compressor like the sanden 508 compressor?
The 508 is used in tempo traveler. non factory installed ac in sumo etc.
But retails about north of 8000/-
If its that i think i have to wait for another 2 to 3 months!
Any suggesions , should i leave superking coils alone to work like in any other cab or should try with my theory?
