[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15514907, member: 121775"] Well, think about it, though. You're comparing water that has been exposed to ice (probably between 23* and 32*) to water exposed to refrigerant (r134a is -200*F or thereabouts). If the KC guy has been running his system for long enough (and not shutting the car off, letting the fluid soak up heat), his fluid [i]should[/i] be colder than the ice tank guy to begin with. Also, people keep saying the compressor cuts out at WOT. I don't think that's the correct way of saying it. The compressor cuts out above (I believe) 5K RPM. So, unless he's launching at crazy high RPM, his compressor is still going to be running for a good portion of his trip down the strip. But I could be wrong. Even if the compressor does cut out, and the water heats up at the end, the KC will still "create" chilled water by the time he makes back to the bottom of the track. It'll be cold water by the time he gets back to the staging lanes, and he doesn't have to deal with dumping water and refilling a tank with water and ice. I can't imagine that being a fun ordeal to deal with after every pass. [/QUOTE]
