hi
does anyone know what ac uses..?? does it use gas or electricty.??or both..??
thank you

Handruin

Well, I'd say gas because it is connected to the engine via a belt which spins the compressor, no? The engine in turn needs electric and gas to run, so I guess both.

I assume by this question you mean what is used to cool the iside of the car?Modern autos make use of a refrigerant known as R134 A or more typically "freon".This gas is circulated through the AC system by the compressor on the engine.Through expansion and contraction of the gas the air entering the passenger compartment is cooled.The system depends on the engine's power to operate the compressor and the cars electrical system to operate the various electronic controls and fans.Jens

Come on now Jens-- of all people, YOU should know that "freon" refers to R-12. Anyone using "freon" in place of 134A is severely misinformed.

You are quite correct Tom2 in your refrence to the Freon thing but most people simply refer to it as Freon to keep it simple.Jens

You are right Tom2 the actual brand names seem to have become the norm for many things in our lives but this makes it easy and we all know what we mean when we refer to them.Jens
