Well i'm planning on building a chiller, very simple one
The question is, can it be done with these components?
-Airplex360 +3x 120mm papst 26dba
-eheim pump
-cuplex evo cpu block
-a compressor, from on the basement, its only a compressor, nothing else on it
Can somebody give me a good tutorial, (yes i have searched)
Cause i am noob at this, all comments and stuff are welcome, will need a complete walktrough
Well hope you can help me, thx
Tools needed:
- Refrigerant any type will work but for this project I am using r22. Reason for this is one I have access to the Freon and it boils at a low temperature of about -41c.
- Set of refrigeration gauges. (A must for quality work).
- Temperature meters (I used a raytek thermal gun and a good quality digital meter).
- Torch ..std propane torch works fine with a good quality solder.
- Solder and a flux to make sure you get a good solder joint.
- Standard hand tools. Screwdriver pliers ECT.
- Tubing cutter
- Vacuum pump. If you have access. Will make a difference if you want lower temps.
- Compressor.1/8hp to 1/4hp works best
- Evaporator..hand made I will show you how I did it.
- Condenser...buy outright or build your own.
- Copper tubing ΒΌ" OD and 3/8" OD
- Schrader type charging ports.
- Refrigerant oil (mineral oil used for R12 R22 R502)
- One old computer case
Will i need al those, or is it also possible with less?
i don't think you understand what you are doing.
you have a radiator on the list. there would be no use for a radiator in a water chiller.
if you really want to learn i suggest you read. you can make a chiller if you spend some time doing your research.
here's what you really need to do:
post a picture of your compressor so we can figure out if it's usable.
buy a strong pump that's not plastic.
get a 6-row condensor from chilly.
get manifold gauges and a mapp gas or oxy/acetelyne torch.
you will need copper tubing for the system (1/4") and for the evap (assuming you do a standard coil evap, 3/8" or so).
you will need capillary tube, .031" or so.
you will need to make a resivior around the evap, so buy materials for that.
you'll also need a license if you plan on using R22.
an easier route would be to do the normal AC system mod. that requires a window AC unit and a small cooler.

I used to have links here demonstrating how awesome I am, but it's been so long that they're not very relevant (and the pictures have disappeared), so I guess I'll have to get working on new stuff.
http://www.haegkoeling.nl/onderdelen.html
this site is in dutch (i'm dutch aswell), i will buy the parts there
-condensor with 2 120mm fans
-neophrene isolation
-dryer capillair set
-r600a/r290
i will buy some copper tubing from the diy
will post a picture later, have to go to the basement first
But isnt it possible to chill a watercooling system?
Here are some pictures of the compressor.
Quality is bad cause of low battery.
I dont have any specifications, but they are probebly from a fridge.
I think they could be used.
They both have two power cables.
Sorry for my english, im from Belgium.
Edit, i also have (i think) a relai, but i dont think i can use it, cause the main circuit is high voltage
