This is going to be the sneak peak of the chiller build and all you'll get for around a week or two as I'm moving to a new house during the next two weeks.

AC unit taken apart. Radiator looking thing closest to me is the cold part, one farthest is the hot side radiator. Kind of like a TEC in a way.



Up close of the cold side radiator that will be dipped in the cooler to chill the water.



I still need to figure out a poor mans way of cutting the aluminum sheet and cutting the plastic. Ideas are welcome

Thanks guys! I have it running in the garage right now with the temperature prob stuck in a cup of hot water so that it doesn't shut off

Let's see how cold this thing can get

In the end though, I will be tuning it so that it keeps the water at a steady 5C, as my pump and waterblock are only good down to 0C. It will still be a good 10-30C drop in temps though.

Here is a nice little frost picture for you guys

It appears that straight out of the box, with NO INSULATION at all, this chiller maxes out at 18F/~-8C

Not bad at all, not bad at all



EDIT: After taking off the fan blowing on the cold side rad, I was able to hit -20F

How much horsepower? What refrigerant? BTU?

Just curious, because me and a friend are doing the same with a 3/4 HP rotary running on R22.
