I'm sure there are countless threads her discussing the pros and cons of these two types but i can't find them, so i want to throw it out there for debate. On another thread I have been discussing the new chiller i've made and would like a few more opinions and maybe one of y'all engineers take on it.
Basically ihave built a counterflow chiller inside of a five gallon bucket. The copper tube comes out of the lid on one side, held in place by a bulkhead fitting. The coil comes out of the bucket on the outward side on the side and bottom of the bucket. On the top side I attach the hose, and on the bottom of the bucket is an outlet w/valve.
Does this sound like an efficient design? It works well, and was wondering if therere any improvements y'all would suggest,
