I picked up free a water cooler with a lower cold compartment below, has 100 watt of cooling power demand with the compressor and condenser mounted on the back.
The cold water cooling coils wrap around a 6" diameter stainless can 7" deep plus another evaporator in the below cooler compartment. I was thinking about ripping it apart and using it to maintain temps for a future a conical fermenter. Add a stainless "U" tube reaching deep into the fermenter as a frementer cooler. It runs off R134 as well frosts up the cooling coils it's that cold. The stat's set for 32*F to 41*F in the lower cooler section. Anyone else attack a project item like this?
The 500 watt hot water chamber had splits and leaking it's a trash item. I was thinking about the past attempts to make a Peltier cooled fermenter before but this with a small compressor with two evaporators instead has more BTU of cooling power.
Combine both evaporators into one chamber then circulate this cold fluid thru the loop tube in the fermenter lid.
Free what the hell is my thinking, fail just throw it away.
