Hi all,
I am buildign a new waterchiller out of an old dehumidifier i got given, my old chiller (also made from a dehumidifier) will reach -20*C. so far this one looks very promising, i started her up last night with the evap in a bowl of antifreeze ( only half submerged, half open to air and no insulation on the bowl) and it reached -13*C after about an hour. i just put the evap into a coolbox now and half filled the coolbox full with windscreen washer fluid (and then i run out :() but the temp of the fluid when i started was 23*C, i will go and check on it again in say 20 minutes and let you know how it's going. :) will try and get some pics aswell when my other pc is back up.
owen
EDIT: now at 12*C after 15 minutes :) will check it again in about half an hour. how's it looking so far guys? i think its doing quite well seing as the evap is only half in the fluid :)
