trully sorry for the pics i cant downsize them as of now
the only way to make it as cold as possible is to take the thermostat off or maybe put the temp probe on the bottom of the compressor to fool it
Thats a nice looking comprossorlooks like a 3/4 hp com
remove the fan of the evaporator, she'll get MUCH colder
Pimpsho, you wouldn't happen to be in the Detroit area, would you?
(Thinking uranus describes the heart of the city... LOL)
ya ok i finally had time to mess with it today.
i turn it on for bout 3-5 minutes then the compressor turns on and everything becomes cooler....then after about another 5-6minuts of it being on the cap tubes gets nice and frosty...but after it gets frosty the frost starts going away then theres no frost but its still kickin out cold air...any one got an idea why it would go away?
You can look up the compressor on LG's site.
hey vlad do u have a thread on ur chiller? if so hook me up with a link buddy i wana get some ideas.
Because you didn't saw off the front motor shaft, which powers the evaporator fan, yet. Saw it off and remove the evaporator fan.but after it gets frosty the frost starts going away then theres no frost but its still kickin out cold air...any one got an idea why it would go away?
What are the dimensions of the evaporator?

hers some pics u guys will enjoy...or atleast i had a big grin on my face
thought this was funny...
-26c is around what mine got to exposed like that. once you submerge the evap in a liquid like alcohol the temp will drop a lot more. mine got down to -42.7c. looks good bud, keep us posted.
What i do is remove the thermostat completely. the power switch feeds thru the thermostat to the compressor, if you remove the thermostat and go directly to the switch the comp will only go offOriginally posted by water_cooler 20

when you trun it off.
once it gets to its lowest temp the comp seems to quiet down a little and get cool to the touch.
Check this out:

Click on "rubbermaid". Click on "insulated coolers". Click on "12 can insulated cooler".
I wonder if the evaporator would fit into the 12 can cooler.

the link just goes to the home page
Yeah I tried to go direct. While you're in there look around. All sorts of good stuff.
i think his evap is to long since his evap is around 14.6 and the tank is 14.59 wide it might be a tight fit
The tank is 19.7" wide and 14.6" tall.
gary, thank you sooooooooooo much, i was looking for a cooler, but now that you stumbled upon this, and it is quite a nice size! I'm in the same situation. Would u recommend that you put a barb on the bottom to take the water out?
