My Chiller In Progress

[kommando]

Okay i've finally got an ac unit, it ain't the greatest but it should do the job. Im unsure what to do becuase of how dirty it is.

But i've got some pics.

[kommando]

....

[runmc]

Take a picture with more lighting so we can see it better, Please.;)

[kommando]

Its a bit dark currently ill take some tommorow arvo when its more light :)

[runmc]

That last picture is good.;) It looks like a very promising piece of equipment. This should be fun.

Good luck:D

[kommando]

Ill clean it up, run it. Is there any way of removing the fan from starting?

[kommando]

Just tried tunring it on and ntohing happened :(

[TheDogFather]

Where did you get it from ?

Give it a bit of a clean, check the fuse, make sure all the wires look Ok.

Is it doing anything, making any noise at all ?

TDF.

[kommando]

Not Doing anything, i got it from a member for free.

Ill give it a clean during the week :)

[LoudHoward]

I remember cleaning mine out, it was an absolute nightmare! I had to sit and scrub for about 3 hours!

[kommando]

Would it be okay so have the thing up to see if the wires are alright and still keep it form?

[kommando]

Okay *update*

Im gonna still try and get thsi working but my friend has donated me one awesome compressor.

[kayl]

when you plug it in do you here the relay click at all
can you take a picture of the temperature control panel where you adjust everything

[kommando]

here.

[kayl]

thats not what you have it set to when you turn it on is it
try first dial say 5
second know (turn to most right position)
and the third dial does that say timer?
and the last one i think is the vent system shouldn’t really matter


also what noises can you here when you plug it in
maybe it powers on (here the click) but turns off straight off cause drawing too much current or something like that

[Tonic]

It's so funny that you're two years less than
me and you're bulilding that waterchiller, when
I'm actually remembering theories about this
cooling :)

I wish you good luck and show everybody else
what a young boy can do :D

[kommando]

Nothing happens, i think the connections are broken, ill fix them up when dad gets home tommorow.

Dont' want 240v into my body.

[afireinside]

Yea I got some same age ausie compititons going on here :p:

Thank god for american refrigeration sites and ebay :p:

[kommando]

We got weekend shopper :):)

Good fun selling stuff.

Theres a 60 doller working ac unit i might buy and finish this :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ing thing off.

Untill then ill get this beast working and wait for my friend to come back from holidays so i can pick up the huge ass compressor.

Being young ROCKS!! (except school).

[afireinside]

School blows :( I got off till monday after next tho :D

I hate my window AC chiller because the 45 minute wait for it to chill down is agonizing while listining to is grumble :stick:

Good luck with yours :)

[Çhrist0ph]

[Çhrist0ph]

[OCme]

Any new developments in reguard to your chiller?

[kommando]

^^This guy is insane!

[gouda96]

[afireinside]

The scarry part is I'm a year and a half younger than him :stick:

[iceman2g]

kommando hope you feel better.

As for outgrowin :banana::banana::banana::banana: no one ever out grows it they just lose focus.

well.. i used to get stoned and watch :banana::banana::banana::banana: in the living room with my g/f, does that count? :p my parents couldnt give a :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: bout what i used to get up to, was great :) im 19 now and im single and it sucks :(
owen

[Çhrist0ph]

so, umm... whats the deal on the chiller?
probably still sick...

[Slickthellama]

you know you guys watch to much of that :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: and you will become desensitized to it. After a while you realize it's all the same and you get out and find a girl that you love <3

[gouda96]

love in highschool...that's funny stuff. Then you go to college...

[Slickthellama]

i'm not saying it's likely but there is always a chance. IF you cant find a girl you love then at least find one you like and wanna be with, life is so great when you do. :banana:

[sandman]

:bananal: :bananal: :bananal:

yep, that's love. :)

[Blergo]

and its great when you'r g/f watches more :banana::banana::banana::banana: than you do aswell ;-) means they dont complain when you do..lol..

haha that's why so many people get divorced.

[kommando]

*UPDATE*
My ac unit is working, just a bit of flickign around with the switches and it worked. Im now waiting for it too cool down :D

[kommando]

Oh crap, it gets frosty for only half the evap then loses its frost :(

[Gary Lloyd]

Did you remove the evap fan?

[kommando]

Yes, all the fans have been removed.

[Gary Lloyd]

It needs the condenser fan, but not the evap fan.

[kommando]

Oh okay, ill remount the codensor fan back on, but one of the fins has broken off :\

Will that caust any problems?

And i don't think the fan works, can i just like a desk fan type thing over the codensor?

Getting somewhere at least :)

[Çhrist0ph]

PICS!



please?:p:

[Gary Lloyd]

Will that caust any problems?

And i don't think the fan works, can i just like a desk fan type thing over the codensor?


Yes, a broken blade will cause problems. A desk fan is better than no fan.

please?:p:

Ill take some this arvo as i have a soccer game sooon :banana:

[blinky]

hey kommando u never answered my PM

[kommando]

Which one was that?

Back on topic, half of the evaourater has become frosty :D

[kommando]

DAMN!

All the frost went away, despite having a huge desk fan covering 2/3 of the condensor.

Not my day!

[Gary Lloyd]

Is the desk fan also blowing (or sucking) warm air through the evaporator?

[kommando]

Its blowing nice air on. I noticed the ac unit has switched itself off when the frost goes away?

Maybe some sort of thermostat.

[Gary Lloyd]

Sounds like some sort of thermostat to me.

[kommando]

How would i got about removing it?

[Gary Lloyd]

First you need to find it. The sensor will be on the evap. Follow that back to the control. The control will have a couple wires going to it. Connect those wires together.

[kommando]

Okies thanks for that, can't i just cut the wires :D

[Reflex1]

too much talk ...we want pix and action :D

[Gary Lloyd]

Okies thanks for that, can't i just cut the wires

If you connect those wires to each other, it runs. If you disconnect them from each other, it doesn't run. That's what the thermostat does, it connects and disconnects those wires.

[kommando]

I see, i shall connect them together then.

Pics, well i shall take some.

[kommando]

The new setup of the ac unit, WITH PICS!

[kommando]

The fan

[kommando]

The old :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ty fan.

[kommando]

The Frost starts, a couple of mins after start up.

[kommando]

More frost :banana:

[kommando]

:stick:

N for NICK :)

[gouda96]

Lookin nice. When do you expect to have that chilling a machine. I just bought my 5200btu maytag unit today. I am gonna start a thread tomorrow about it probably...I don't have anywhere to most my pics though...

[kommando]

Im not sure, my motherboard is going through the rma proess atm.

Im using the XS.org upload a picture feature to host my pics.

Ill remove the thermostat and then it should be all sweet.

Its a bit big so i don't know wher eim going to put it...

I'll also probally buy another window air conditioner that can fit in my case that i've built :)

[kommando]

:cursing: i don't see no thermostat :(

[kommando]

Only 2 lines going into the evapourator......

[kommando]

The compressor shuts down after maybe 20 minutes or so of run time when the whoel evapourator gets frosty....

[kayl]

mine could be found where the controls of the airconditior is located. on the back of the controls there should be a wire that extends and goes to the front of the evaporator.

[kommando]

Well on the front it has a switch could "timer" maybe that could be it?

[Gary Lloyd]

No, what other switches do you have?

[kommando]

Temperature, Fucntion, Air Exchanger, Timer.....

I foudn another ac unit for 25 bucks which i might buy...

[Gary Lloyd]

Temperature is the thermostat.

There should be two wires on the back of the thermostat. If you connect them together it should keep running.

[kommando]

Okay will do this weekend.
