I have an old Absocold mini dorm fridge that is in the vicinity of 20 years old....damn I'm getting old. It was my fridge in the dorms during my first 2 years of undergraduate school. Anyways, it was used for 2 years and 2 years only and then was stored in my parents basement, until they dropped it off at my house and it went into storage in my basement. I plugged it in for the first in probably 10 years and the compressor kicked on immediately and it was cold within minutes. She's old and not the most efficient thing by today's standards, but still seems to be functioning flawlessly.
Would this be suitable for a fermentation chamber and if so, any ideas about the maximum cubic volume that this thing could handle. I plan on building a very well insulated fermentation chamber box around this thing, leaving the cooling coils uncovered out the back for heat dissipation. Any help would be great! I was thinking a box big enough to hold 2 to 3 carboys, but wasn't sure if it would just burn the compressor out of this thing.
