AHHH, summer.
Warm days, drives in
the countryside, picnics
on the beach.

And

road) construcuoen
van are, stick

sweltering hot.

nately, with vour vir

conditioning on, it’s comfort

able inside the car. For many

people, air-conditioning a a
option.

i nditioning works on
the principle that evaporating
fluid takes hear out of the air.

rerant vapor is: first
compressed to liquefy it, then
it evaporates. This chills and
dehumidifies the air coming
into the car.

The refrigerant: that has
been used with great su
over the vears has been Freon,
or R-13. However, R-12, asa
chlorofluorocarbon (CFC),
has been partly responsible for
depletion of the ozone Sayer.
In the last couple of years, car
manufacturers have converted
to R-134a, a hydrofluorocar-
bon (HFC) that is much less
harmful to the environment.

If you have an older car, it
may be possible to convert
your air-conditioning to R-1
34a. Ask your car service

rovider about conversion
kits.

If not, you should be
aware that R-12 is no longer
being manufactured. While
stocks are available, their use
is tightly controlled and a
great deal of care is taken to

NORTH Vancouver musician Paul Casano (above) strikes a fat chord tooling around the North Shore in his
1977 Oidsmobile Regency 98. Boasting a 403 cubic inch engine, plush green velvet interior and power
“everything”, the land yacht requires a crisp $50 bill to fill the tank. (If you have a special relationship with
your vehicle, call the North Shore News photography department at 985-2131).
