Ultimately, the goal is to produce ice cold air conditioning, so who cares how you achieve this as long as you aren't spewing tonnes of refrigerant into the atmosphere!
Stop calling things a 'waste of time' when they actually work!

Unfortunately that attitude is why there are so many sheds of volvos around for sale these days requiring so much work , they have been bodged as far as their lives will let them and on their 3rd and 4th owners so they are just fit for scrap as they are cars worth £700 requiring £2000 of work .
