Re: Is adding air conditioning an unobtainable myth?

G'day Men, to answer the first questions first, there are many different size pulleys for the Sanden over here. Talking in metrics, some I know of are 119mm, 125mm, 132mm, 140mm, 146mm, 153mm, and probably a lot more. 125mm is pretty close to 5" and I think I'll be going for one of those or 132mm. I tried to measure my drive pulley and came up with 6 7/8", which is pretty much the same as Howards. From what I have found, the maximum constant rev's for a Sanden SD7H15 is 6,000, although I have seen 4,000 for a sealed unit but I'm not sure what that is. By my calculations, at around 60 mph, which is faster than I normally cruise, it'll be spinning either 3500 or 3700, depending upon which model I get.
Now to Howard's interesting photo's. I say interesting because your setup is back to front to mine. My compressor is located on the passenger side (the car is LHD) over the generator and the power steering pump is located on the driver's side. The receiver drier is also mounted on the passenger side in a pretty tight spot (see pic's). You look like you've got a lot more room to move with your setup Howard, and it looks pretty clean and tidy in there as well. Very nice. I like the receiver drier setup you have and I'm thinking I'll have to do something similar. By the way, as my York has a double pulley, for that reason I have been looking at 2A pulleys. I'm not really familiar with the safety switch but presume it is some sort of cutout if pressure fluctuates too much (?). Regards, John
