After a long debate on another thread over hybrid chillers and CFC's, I thought I would conduct an experiment with one CFC and one hybrid chiller and look at their effectiveness cooling 5.5 gallons of boiling water.
I'm curious if anything like this has been done before. I'm probably going to turn it into a paper for my thermo-dynamics and fluid dynamics classes.
The coilers for both chillers will be 25' and made of 3/8" soft copper tubing.
The CFC will be of standard design.
The hybrid will be a true "Coil-in-tube" Design with water being forced out by pressure.
Let me know your thoughts!
I realize that I'm really just proving the first law of thermo-dynamics by doing this experiment, but I thought it would have a little bit more merit in the homebrew community.
