Water_Cooler's Chiller

[water_cooler 20]

no so i'll go do that

i put more antifreeze in so now i have not seen any ice and i filled the res up almost all the way
lol since my thermoniter is broken i can't see how cold it is
but if i stick my finger in the water my finger goes num for a few secs lol so i'm going to stop doing that

also now my hi side psi has droped to 202 psi

also as the water gets colder the accumulator gets more frosty so does that mean i'm overcharged

[water_cooler 20]

i figure now that its cold why not try it out
here it is running w/ my maze 3 lets see if my inslation can keep up

[water_cooler 20]

While running i noticed that the liquid was starting to slush and then i saw a piece of ice float to the top so now i have to go w/ a higher mix i think i was at a 30:70 mix so now i know i'm colder than -42C maybe i can hit -50C than i'll be really happy

2:get a temp sensor that doesent suck
3:what pump are you gona use for -50C?
4:you have almost no insulation on that thing

[water_cooler 20]

while playing w/ the charge i found out that it did have alittle extra gas because i took some out and now its colder and the accumulator is only half way frosted now

Works for me

what size and length copper tubing did you use to make that evaporator?
what size and length is the captubing?

[water_cooler 20]

the tubing is 3/8 and i think its like 5 ft
the cap tube is 5ft of .036

[water_cooler 20]

i have a TEV but i think its rated for to high capacity then whats needed to cool water
on the box it says says capacity 3 so does that mean its rated for 3 tons

here is a pic

[kommando]

How much did that cost btw?

[water_cooler 20]

i got it off ebay for $20

[Gary Lloyd]

3 tons = 36000 BTU = 10550 watts

I would say that's a little oversized for a 200-300 watt load.

[afireinside]

Its not THAT oversized right

W_C:When you gona get the thing running on your rig? Your gona trust your setup to plastic mounting hardware?

[kommando]
