THIS new design also encompasses a Variable Orifice Tube Valve instead of a thermal expansion valve and which is much colder even at idle than a normal orifice valve

How much does this weigh and what parts does it replace? I am considering removing my AC because I don' use it. I would be interested in a light weight version that works. I also would interested in heater blower that defrosts and removes condensation. Will your new blower perform better than the stock version?

The Tan Swan A/C Project
 
The 911 had been the Owners Father's
Who took it to his home after he bought it; to the US Pacific North West and it remained for many years until his death.

The Tan Swan was purchased used; by the father from the original 911 owner many years ago. It originally had an A/C system installed, but it no longer worked ever again. There is not much need for A/C in the Pacific Northwest so I guess it was never used, or repaired to be functional because of the expense.

However the Father drove it regularly over the years

(The father had 2 young sons that were babies who grew up with the Tan Swan and the oldest is now the main Owner of the Tan Swan and in his 40s and shares ownership with his younger brother)

The father greatly enjoyed this car during his lifetime I was told by the owner! It originally had a 2.7 engine that gave good service for many years. But a year or so before father died he upgraded the engine to a newly rebuilt and modified 3.6 Liter and transaxle combo update.


The Owner (The oldest Son) lives here in South Florida and shipped the car here after his fathers death.

The Owner had heard about me and my new technology 911 A/C system designs and the success I have had with several 911's and making them super cold and decided he wanted my Revolutionary A/C System Complete Modernization of Everything.

At first I did not know it used to have an A/C system installed or ever had one, but I later discovered it did. Everything related to the original A/C system had been removed. Except for only 2 very short refrigerant pieces of hose that were cut off that were internally hidden in the body that you could not see easy.

The smugglers box had been completely jury-rigged and I guess the father or someone cut into where the evaporator used to be and put in a 12 volt D/C really small kind of a bizarre heater; including through the firewall. One of the oddest installations I have ever seen to say the least. Later properly repairing this installation damage would make this the most difficult project I have ever worked on.

These pictures are how it was delivered and I first saw it. ouch OMG!

This early model 911 a/c system is a new high tech animal !!!
 
A FEW OF THE HIGH LIGHTS OF THIS NEW TECHNOLGY EARLY MODEL 911 A/C SYSTEM

The early model 911 a/c system is a new high tech animal

The only parts that were PORSCHE OEM WAS THE EVAPORATOR BOX AND IT WAS HIGHLY MODIFIED to suit my needs for an evaporator box that fit the body

THE SYSTEM HAS for example,

Modified VoV orifice valve injecting refrigerant into the evaporator and a custom modified Receiver Tank

Special Higher capacity CFM Blower for the evaporator

Highly Modified and Fully Insulated Porsche oem Evaporator box, to fully accommodate Special Higher capacity CFM Blower; increased cold air intake and exhaust openings and multiple level sealing and air rerouting, digital temperature controls

Special Higher capacity CFM Blower; for the front condenser; mounted in front of the battery; and into the body

Custom designed Front PFC condenser, that is also custom and fully shrouded and encased

Custom designed Rear PFC condenser

Control of refrigerant gases in new ways never done before

This New Technology 911 A/C System is designed to reliably run in the 30’s F. @ 97 F without freezing up and it’s been fully tested to the complete satisfaction of several very picky Porsche critics

I will upload more pictures and description in the coming days

I think your work is beautiful. It's kind of a tease to keep showing us your progress with the implication that "you make parallel flow condensers for the 911" when in fact you just make one or two prototypes. They are great. If you just said "here is what I have built", then nobody would have any expectations, and they would also admire your work, as I do.
Good luck,

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS DAVE
For my PFC's they are no longer just a prototype they are a finished product and have been for about 2 years. I am just kind of picky who I decide to sell them to or make them for.

I have gone far beyond just my 911 pfc's

This Tan Swans new technology A/C SYSTEM was completed as a prototype about a year ago, I just never published until now. I also did another called A/C System the Black Swan.

I discovered something really incredible when I was almost done with the Black Swan, I have only told one person about this, who uses my technology in his Porsche shop; it has to do with the control of the gases on an early model 911. After I actually show him he was blown away.

I can't decide if I am going to release it to the world or just keep sitting on it?

But this TAN SWAN HAS IT

95 F plus Ambient; Vent temps in the 30s; Humidity 90 %

THIS A/C SYSTEM WILL RUN MUCH COLDER BUT IT WAS THOUGHT BEST TO SET MINIMUM TEMP AT ABOUT 37-38 DEGREES F

WHEN VENT TEMPS ARE QUICKLY IN THE 30s the cabin temp soon after starting the engine with A/C ON QUICKLY drops; FAR BETTER THEN WHEN IT IS HIGHER! THIS IS WHY I DESIGNED THIS CAR TO GET SO COLD, AND IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!

THE CABIN Air in any car is sometimes at first somewhere between 160-180 F or higher, just sitting in the sun parked;

On the TAN SWAN after you first open the door sit in the seat and start driving, its usually within a few blocks or less you are not sweating, then a mile later or so you will need to turn the temp up on this A/C System so you are not cold on this early model 911.

The colder and faster in minutes/seconds any A/C System drops the hot ambient cabin air the faster you don's sweat.

This is one ICE COLD 911, i have never seen or experienced another that gets cold this fast including even a brand new 2015 model

I am very happy how well this A/C System works to say the least !

Most Important the owner is very happy with his new 911 A/C investment!

DaveMcKenz 02-22-2015 05:35 AM

Reid,
You do beautiful work.
Why would you set the minimum temp to 37 degrees? Those are decent vent temps at 70 mph, but not spectacular.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I have already built my a/c system, so I am just an appreciative spectator.
Thanks,
Dave
