He pretty much told me how to do it in the chiller ac sticky. Not likely you'll get a step by step. He is retired, never sleeps, and spends way to much time on these forums.

Maybe I should write a book.

Doesn't look like the retirement is going to work out. I'm hoping to make it to spring and then back to the tools.

Vlad , did you tune your charge?

Nope. I just ran it the way i pulled it from the trash. I work there repairing heavy equipment so i get my pick of anything i want. i always keep my eyes open and put anything worth keeping to the side for future use. My first one was a 1/12th hp mini-fridge that did -27c.

vlad, could I have a look in your reservoir to see how you have it set up. I'm getting ready to build one of these chillers, and I'm not sure if I should go with the 12 drink cooler or the 5 or 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler you seem to have. Maybe someone could tell me if it is best to have the evaporator setting vertical or horizontal, or does it not make a differance which way it goes?

I didnt take a pic of the inside of this one but this is what it looks like except for the evap is diffrent.

Here's one i work on when ever i get some spare time(which lately seems like never.) It uses two 8000btu AC's(Free). i fabbed a metal container that holds about 20gals(Free+45min my time), it will be placed in a rubbermaid container(10 buc's@homedepot) & insulated with about 4 to 6 inches of spray insulation.(12 to 20 buc's also@homedepot). I dont know what it'll do(im sure Mr Lloyd will have an idea) but what the hell it's amost free & a guys gotta something to do on those boring winter days. i've been looking into industral pumps because i dont know how much longer these pond pumps im using are going to hold up.
