    I'd spend the 30.00 on the R-1000 its worth the money.

    use distilled water not tap.

    Good luck to your project.

    water_cooler,

    Your beating your head against the wall .

    Just use the Denatured alcohol with "NO WATER" and the clearflex.

    Get a decent reservoir that doesn't have a hole in the bottom of it. (I'll sell you mine if that will help)

    Put a top on it and seal it up with armaflex (you can get armafex at home depot, along with the denature alcohol) The armaflex is in the air condition department and the denatured alcohol is in the paint section.

    Now go to Home Depot.
    UNDER THE ICE .com
    Phase Change Cooling

    is the remedy

    We are all noob, no prob with that.

    Armaflex is an insulation tape It's 1/8" thick and 2" wide. It comes in a roll.

    You can wrap your clearflex with it. Seal the lid on the reservoir with it. I covered the styro-foam lid with strips of armaflex.

    It's just a tape that will seal and insulate.

    if you have any problems with the lexan for a top due to the methanol attacking it use glass for the next top. If you don't run into a cracking problem don't worry about it.

    Gasoline attacks lexan and makes it brittle not 100% sure about methanol just giving you a heads up just in case.

    Isn't clearflex rated to only like -25? Also like previously posted you don't need a 100% methanol solution.

    the compressor is 10 1/2 in tall

    I don't know how loud it yet

    I don't think the one in the link is mine because in the link it is talking about a 6000btu compressor while mine is 9000btu
    but i think its the same type as mine just a differnt btu

    I will try to get it going as soon as possible

    i'm thinking about making the heat exchanger 10ft would this be too much

    the compressor i'm going to use in the above pic has a 1/2 suction line if i use 1/2 tubing for the suction line will that degrade the cooling power of my evap since my evap is made from 3/8 tubing which is smaller than 1/2 tubing

    No, it will not degrade the cooling power. However, it will reduce the velocity of the vapor, which makes it less able to transport the oil back to the compressor. If the suction line is downhill to the compressor then it doesn't matter, because gravity will move the oil, but if it is uphill you need that velocity.
