Problem being, an a/c unit designed for a 120 sf office space would never make a dent in cooling a car. A major climate control efficiency effort on a car could and should concentrate on insulation and making the cabin more airtight. So much heat comes through the floorpan and firewall. So much heat comes in from sunlight through the windows. So much conditioned air is lost through the door panels, that our CC systems have to work far harder than is really necessary.
