You got it! Excellent understanding. Yes there is a return line, and an additional orfice tube. Just as a rear AC would be in a van or a SUV, but the chiller has two seperate chambers where the freon & the coolant pass each other providing maximum heat transfer.

Absolutely. These are the question I want to see in this discussion.

There has been a ton of R&D put into this and the working units are doing great after app 6 months in use on a few test LS powered cars.
You mentioned no condensation to drip onto the track. There is no condensation from the chiller's interface between the coolant and refrigerent then?

As for a road-racer, the question would be "will the drag on the engine from the AC compressor wired to be engaged at WOT as well outweigh the benifits of the cooler air charge temps?" Thats an unknown at this time, but the GTO running this for the past 6 months or so is street & dragstrip driven with excellent results.

Good question though!
Are or will you guys be verifying this?

Thanks for all the details
