That was my first thought too, but then it occurred to me that the
compressed refrigerant probably isn't hot enough to be sufficiently cooled
by 175degF water. It'd probably work fine for the first couple minutes after
a cold start, before the engine gets up to temperature. Probably more
effective using an air-cooled condenser, like the AC uses.
