Hey, this is for gary or whomever else might know. I have a dehumidifer converted to a chiller (almost done with the cooler and insulation), it works great probably getting my liquid to -30 or so (no temp probe yet), but that's not my main issue.
When I run the chiller, the compressor gets frost on the bottom (like its ICE cold) and I'm just wondering if it'd be alright to insulate that so I dont have it drip all over the place once I get it in the house. I know it's more humid outside but I'd still like to prevent that.
The top half of the compressor is pretty warm, and the entire bottom half is freezing to the point of frost, I have some insulation around the return line (where it meets the compressor) but I just want to know if it's safe for me to insulate the whole bottom.
Thanks a lot, I'm going to be chilling a 6800gt so this should be a FUN few days:D
