Because the carbon dioxide used in car air conditioning is a recycled industrial waste product, it is an environmentally neutral solution. The Alliance claims that using a CO 2-based air conditioning system will reduce total car emissions by 10%, thereby sparing the planet 1% of total greenhouse gases. [citation needed]
In the 1990s, Carrier stopped using the "Day & Night" brand (which was the "D" in the BDP division, or Bryant-Day & Night-Payne) but it was revived in 2006 by ICP. In 2001, Carrier was the "world's largest manufacturer of air-conditioning, heating, and refrigerator equipment" with a "total employment of 42,600" and a revenue of $8.9 billion.
Compressed air engines reduce the cost of car production, because there is no need to build a cooling system, spark plugs, starter motor, or mufflers. The rate of self-discharge is very low compared to batteries. A fueled, compressed-air vehicle may be left unused for a longer time than an electric car.
This warms the exhaust of the preceding stage and admits this preheated air to the following stage. The only exhaust gas from each stage is cold air, which can be as cold as −15 °C (5 °F); the cold air may be used for air conditioning in a car. [15] Additional heat can be supplied by burning fuel, as in 1904 for the Whitehead torpedo. [56]

The national average cost of full coverage car insurance climbed 26 percent from 2023 to 2024, leaving many drivers wondering why coverage has gotten so expensive.
An air conditioner designed for an occupied space will typically achieve a 30% to 60% relative humidity in the occupied space. [51] Most modern air-conditioning systems feature a dehumidification cycle during which the compressor runs. At the same time, the fan is slowed to reduce the evaporator temperature and condense more water.
