DIY Chiller

[KarlK]

Well, I'm in the middle of the build right now. The system is on the vacuum pump as I type this. I've gone home for dinner and a nap.

*Note*

It is VERY easy to get heatstroke in a sun room that peaks at 40 degrees C!

I'll be back in an hour or so to charge the system and get the controls finished.

All that is really left:

2 wire splices
Placing the temperature sensor
Ty-rapping the lines and wires together
Charging the system with refrigerant
Testing to see how cold I can get the tank Just kidding!

Hightower has a bunch of the pics on his camera. I'll get him to send them to me or post them himself tonight.

I'll take my camera when I go back as well.

Before I get any questions about why the lines are run in the places they are; This house has concrete walls. I mean EVERY wall is concrete. Even the floors and attic are concrete! That kind of nixxes going through the walls or into the attic to hide the piping. This piping arrangement works for the way Hightower uses the space. I gave him a few options and he picked the setup he liked.

I've got a 5000 btu/h A/C unit just sitting in my truck. Does anyone want to have one built? It can be a split or a packaged unit. Let me know via PM. If no-one wants one, I don't know what I'll do with this thing. If you want, titanium tubing could be used in the heat-x. I've got some on order from Latvia, beleive it or not!
