I have a quick question about using an a/c for a chiller. I want to use one to build a chiller to lower water temps below ambient but not to the dew point so I can avoid condensation issues. Here are my questions;
1 - Do I still need to cool the condenser (hot side) of the a/c or can I go without any fans on it? If I do, can I use a couple of 120mm fans?
2 - Is the motor that the original a/c fans are attached too used for anything other than the fans? In other words, can it be removed entirely?
3 - If I want the thermostat to monitor water temps so I can set it to keep the water at a certain temp, i.e. 65F, can I modify the existing thermostat to use an external temp sensor like a Bitspower G 1/4in. Temperature Sensor Stop Fitting? If so, any links on how to do that? If not, any suggestions?
4 - Does it matter if the evaporator is standing up or laying down?
Thank you for the answers.
