COOL! Sounds like that type of A/C would be great for the application. The only thing I would be concerned with is compressor life at sustained high RPM.

This may sound like a little redneck engineering, BUT, would if a guy were to build an aluminum enclosure with an incoming an outgoing "bung" (along with a drain for winterizing), and permanently mount an automotive condenser in in (a smaller one like found in a compavct car) inside of it. Route the incoming water from the Bravo Drive though this enclosure and then into the engine using the raw water pump on the motor. The fresh water going through the enclosure would take the heat away from the condensor. The rpm's was something that I did not think about it, but I would suspect that a larger pully on the compressor could fix that.
OK, now shoot some holes in it. Why would it not work?

That really sounds like the way I would go Tango.

Ttt

Did anyone come up with something for cockpit AC? like has been said the water cooled condenser is the missing link....
I've been searching but haven't found one yet.
Vintage air for vehicles has some great options with heat and AC that r reasonably priced.

If your engine bay is well ventilated you could probably just run a fan on the automotive condenser mounted inside the bay
