I have seen homemade glycol chillers made from window AC units which is cool. I love building stuff like this and it got me thinking... It looks like you can buy little window heat pumps, like a normal window AC but can also heat. This is usually done by switching a reversing valve on the compressor so instead of cold refrigerant passing over the inside coil you get hot refrigerant. Now my experience is from commercial units so I'm not positive that it's how a window unit works or if it's just electric heat. If it did infact switch a reversing valve then I think you would be able to use this to cool or heat your glycol for your fermenter instead of using an electric heat pad. Any thoughts??
