Cruzer 101 you are much kind with your wisdom.. I realize this is an old post, but water chillers havent went down much if any over here in the land of the big 3 (almost( and legal mmmp cards with doctors approval. Anyways I luv your mini fridge idea/invention with the freezer plate in the nute tank, I just wanted to ask you what size fridge that was and name brand.. I just dont want to buy anyone, what Im getting at is the one you used in your picture is white coated I guess? but its not metal, and for me thats good cuz I wouldnt want to put any exposed metal in my tank... and I'd like to know size to base off the tank you used to the fridge you used to compare with what Im planning on using.. One last thought.. What do you think of have disconnecting the cooling tray at either the closet point to the back wall or even see if you could cut it off from the condensor and pull it through the fridge back wall then take/break cooling tray off, with connections and thermostat still intact, and leave fridge totally intact and reroute tray from outside part of condesor basically instead of traveling inside the fridge you would reroute to rez even by longer cooling tray tubing/connection themostat as well but thats just wire or rewire (2) I believe but Im no expert but I will ask these questions to my heating/cooling/refridgerant guy )) first thing tomorrow I cant wait.. and you have a blessed one.. wisdom is a gift always best shared then hidden.. hope to hear back.. I invent a lil bit myself ))
Well, It's a sealed system. I was afraid if I cut the tubing I wouldn't be able to seal it and charge it again. Same goes for a leak so I tried not to bend it too much.
As far as the brand of refer, I didn't pay attention so I couldn't tell ya. What I can tell you is if I was gonna do it again I would look for an older refer with coils on the back instead of running through the whole box. It was one of those small 1 cu ft deals. Thanks for the complement.
Nice job if i may say so! I am a heating and cooling contractor, need a job
Now here is the guy who can tell you if its possible to cut the tubing.
Use a sealed cooler as ur res and lose another 10 degrees, you are cooling with no insulation( and less electricity) . So why dont u just air condition the whole god damn neighbourhood. Sweet setup man nao on a previous note. Defs run this shit outside ur cab amd set up a sick aeroponic vertical grow and hit 2g/watt/2months Also check out temp relays to set it at 65 they are like 30 bucks at hardware plcs
Ya think? Doing it this way, keeping the thermostat intact, with the tray in the res and a small water pump circulating the water I keep it on the lowest setting. If I don't it gets too cold. So I don't think I am using that much electricity. With the thermostat controlling the temp why would I need this relay?
I think this is a really good idea. Makes me think though. Why not have a res that fit inside the fridge?
That would be too easy. LOL No, I've seen it done that way. Also just running hose into a small fridge coil it up and back out again.
Honestly I dont remember why I didn't do that, I think it was I couldn't see where the coils were and if I drilled a hole in the side I might hit the coils. besides, the fridge didn't fit into my cab and I wanted it stealth.
