It made the headlines here in Az. They were putting out public service announcements to NOT do this to your car.

The refrigerant has a low boiling point and evaporates inside the tubing to disperse the heat inside to the outside.

It also means if it ruptured it'll be like a bomb like smashing a lighter.

Yep, AC’s do explode.

Most anything that has electricity running to it, can have the chance and/or ability to explode.
