You do use heat to defrost, but the 'conditioner' part of air conditioner is basically removing moisture...and dryer air will help evaporate the moisture on the windshield MUCH faster. In other words, the air is dried by the AC (and cooled at the same time) but then heated by the heater, and the dry, warm air evaporates the moisture on the windshield. In case you're curious, the AC dries the air because as the air cools across the AC coil, the amount of moisture it can hold goes down, and some water condenses on the AC coil (which is then piped/tubed away.) QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Jul 24, 2010 - 9:08 PM)  yeah that's pretty true. f*** it, Ill just buy another condenser from the junkyard and a little bit of piping. to hatchy gt-s: i wasn't going to remove it for horsepower because it's barely any gain, but I was going to remove it because when i was in an accident, i busted the condenser and a tad bit of the piping on the driver's side, and I don't really feel like spending the money to replace it so I was going to take it out. and I thought you're suppose to use the heat to defrost the windows... |

Hello everyone, just picked up a 1994 Celica ST with a little under 70k on her. There is a slight smell of coolant, and peering under the vehicle revealed a slow coolant drip from the passenger side (front) of the engine. If I am correct, this means it's time to change my water pump (and timing belt/tensioner)? Just looking for confirmation before I order the parts...I've heard it's a bit tedious of job, as well. |
