A similar coordinated program operates within the State of México , which surrounds Mexico City on three sides.
The system drew in more outside air than contemporary systems; thus, reducing the staleness associated with automotive air conditioning at the time. Instead of plastic tubes mounted on the rear window package shelf as on GM cars, small ducts directed cool air toward the ceiling of the car where it filtered down around the passengers instead of ...

Though both units remained in service over 15 years (#45698 was destroyed in a wreck in ...
Most vehicles manufactured from the mid-1970s until the mid-1990s have thermostatic air intake systems that regulate the temperature of the air entering the engine's intake tract, providing warm air when the engine is cold and cold air when the engine is warm to maximize performance, efficiency, and fuel economy.

The primary component for the functioning of the cold air unit (CAU) is the Air Cycle Machine (ACM) cooling device. Some aircraft, including early Boeing 707 aircraft, used vapor-compression refrigeration like that used in home air conditioners. An ACM uses no Freon: the air itself is the refrigerant. The ACM is preferred over vapor cycle ...
