Ok, I'm Chilled. I'm Chilled. Relax....56K Warning!

Just wanted to update this:

As many of you know, I try to conserve energy by pumping the heat from my rigs outside during the warmer months, and pumping it inside during the colder months. In the past I did this with indoor/outdoor rads. Early this last summer I did the ghetto chiller that this thread has been about (above). Well, during this last summer I converted a 5K BTU AC to a plateHX chiller. Winter is here, so now I'm wanting to pump the heat inside again, but I really don't want to give up the chilled water. So, I've connected the plateHX chiller to my manifold for indoor/outdoor chillers! When it's too warm in here I turn off the indoor chiller and the outdoor chiller automatically takes over. When it's cool in here I just reach over and push the On button for the indoor chiller....and it starts pumping the heat inside here. At first it was like: Holy Cow that's Loud! But now I barely even notice it. It does not bother me while I'm sleeping, but I sleep like a rock anyway, so......

First a quick rehash of the plateHX chiller:

I took a standard 5K BTU AC:






Yanked the Evap and installed a plateHX:







And put it back together again:
