Default OT How does my car's AC work?

I haven't checked lately, but the last time I looked an automotive air conditioner was about 3 tons capacity.

That will cool the average house.

But a car needs more, because of the solar gain from all the glass, and the fact that you have to cool it down in ten minutes rather than 24 hours.
