A heat engine is mostly used by running a car. It is a device that converts the pressure produced by the ignition of the fuel to generate a movement in the pistons and cylinders to eventually run a car by momentum energy. Using an heat engine in an air conditioner will pollute the room with carbon dioxide produced.
