Well, I have frost....

I can't post pics right now, I'll try this evening. What a pain in the butt this was to get here. The brazing stuff has been kinda dinky, and getting all the stuff needed has been a pain. This project has nickel and dimed me too death also

Anyway, since my web site is full, Ill have to re-arrange some stuff to get the pics up. Beyond that, what sites are we using to post pics here?

OK,
Here are the pics....
Fist is the Oasis water cooler I picked up from Ebay for $35 w/shipping





Next, Stripped the system apart and used a piece of it as my base, I used the torch to braze the bottom piece togerther. then made a bracket to mount the fan...




Next, mount the compressor and hook up some of the copper tubbing...




This is the container I purchased at Target for $5, this will be the resevior. I'm using some hose barb to MPT3/8 for the water lines. These will get glued in later....




Here it is all brazed up and charged with R134a and cooling nicely...








And stopped at -23C.


I believe there is still an issue as my pressures are a little too low. I tried filling some more, but that didn't seem to help much. I believe I may have a restriction..that would not supprise me. If thats the case, I will redo the condensor and add a larger filter/drier. After that, it's pump, insulation and hookup to the head, so more later....

Thanks,
