hey guys...

so i have run into an unused mini-fridge...and have begun thinking of the possibilites...

now, when i look at the back, i see all the main components i need, and not much modding potentially...

i see the fan, rad, and that tube (which holds the freon i guess) and some of the copper tubing - and then the black insulted tube/hose that goes and coools the fridge...

now couldn't i just cut that hose, attach it to a block, and i am phase changing?

of course, easier said than done, but anyone got a spare phase change block?

well i dunno about the whole phase changing deal, but i do know if you cut that hose then all the freon will come out and that is against the law. you will have to have the freon taken out by a specialist before you can do much with it. there would also be a lot of soldering to do, so practice on those skills. GOOD LUCK.

for on eit would be brazing you had better get good, hey just run your water tubing through a ahole in your fridge, put the rad in fridge and you can still keep beer in there

I also have been thinking about some kinda fridge type cooling apparatus. I'm getting a new fridge on Saturday and the old one does work OK so maybe theres a way to remove the cooling parts and have the cooling vents plow into the case. It might be possible to build a enclosure around your M/B kinda like the inside of the fridge hell you could even use the door seals and have the vent blowing in through the side or rear of the rig.

Hey I got an Idea, do not cut any tubing on your fridge, it is against the law because you’re not an HVAC Tech. lol but I am... Any ways what you can to your small fridge is put reserve water inside the fridge and make sure you have Anti freeze, put 2 holes, one on the side and one on the top of your fridge. Side hole is the supply side and the top is the return side run,tube your fridge to your computer and you should have a set up in your computer. You will need a good and strong pump to circulate all that water. Have your pump set up out side the like on the floor. And make sure your reserve water inside your fridge higher level than your pump so that water comes down to the pump by gravity and so that the pump circulate the water with easy, with out air bind. And heres a picture of what I'm talking about!

Rep me if I'd help you..

Just to let you know if you cut the copper tubing, Refer will burst out, unlest you recover the refrigerent. And to put refrigerent back inside you will first need to put it in a vacuum. Well anyways if you have any question about A/C stuff just holla at me.

Let me know how it goes. I am going to attempt to build a phase change unit this summer.
