afaiu the few car ACs that use r290 have a secondary heat exchanger so that the evaporator isn't in the cabin air loop

Sure, but does it matter? Fires that start in the engine compartment spread to the cabin extremely quickly. Propane has a scent added to it that makes it reek of rotten eggs, it's not going to fill the cabin without me noticing and it would have to be a very fast leak to matter. It's lighter than air so it is easily vented, and 6 ounces is a small quantity. Every leak I've ever seen in a car A/C system has been under the hood, and most of them have been slow, dumping the charge out over a period of months or years. It doesn't concern me at all.

They absolutely are intended for outside walls. Our 2004 house uses those.

It is quite an obvious assumption that bricks can be used for outside walls. nctnico must be thinking about some special snowflake indoor-only brick. Never heard about such a thing.

:palm: Geez... you really missed the part where I wrote that I actually read the datasheet for those bricks... And that datasheet says 'indoor use'.

Throw this into Google translate:
https://www.wienerberger.nl/product/binnenmuur/producttypen/porotherm-metselblokken-pm20-en-pm25.html

I'm simply going by what the manufacturer recommends to use their products for.
