Interesting project, I need one of those for my laser
Great project Dustin. Looking forward to the other videos.
Man I am stepping up my production but I'm also on a budget. I search thru water chillers for hours and I didnt want to risk it and waste $150 on some sketchy brand. I have 2 of those similar 5000btu and a 10000btu and I was like why couldn't I make one. I tried a few other ones that came up first but it didn't make it into the video like a minute and thru some scrolling found ur part 2 of this so i came over to part 1. This was done PERFECTLY bro, its exactly what I was looking for. Thank u.
The lack of content about this online is the whole reason why I made them. It's still kicking strong with absolutely no maintenance too!
Hi bro, I'm doing a school proyect, I'm really interested in this topic but and I can't quite understand how it cools the machine, I will apreciate if you could help me.
really nice video
It may be much too late to help your project but the fins in front of the fan attached to the compressor attached to the fins he left hanging have a tube filled with a gas, let's call it freon. so to change from a liquid to gas ( both at the SAME temperature) it requires the addition of energy (heat). To say it again the phase change involves heat. We call the phase changing heat LATENT HEAT. the freon wants to boil at room temperature, but we compress it so it can't ( even more to also make it hot, a property of gasses) and send it to the fins that has the fan. The fin's high surface area allow the heat of the gas to be transferred to the air being blown through them and blown away to wherever, so the gas is now colder, room temperature even. What you can't see is that next we come to a CONSTRICTION inside of the the gas pipe. ( If there wasn't this constriction/ capillary tube/cap tube the compressor would run and the freon would move quickly into the fan fins and straight into to just-fins with the same pressure in both ( not what we want, because a pumps other end is just a vacuum, and straight back to the compressor with no change in pressure( not what we want to force the phase change to happen)). The constriction lets the compressor build up freon in the fan fins because the cap tube just isnt big enough to lets it all out. It eventually balances out. On the other side of the cap tube it goes back to normal pipe in the fin fins, which has been vacuumed by the compressors other end ( vacuum). Under a vacuum the freon instantly boils ( not everything at 100 degrees Celsius like water... and even that is at a certain pressure). The phase change involves latent heat, but this time it goes the other way, sucking up heat and boiling ( turning from gas, being compressed to liquid gave off heat getting hot, remember?). Then the freon goes back into the compressor and it does it all again and again and again for the whole time its running. we just have to put the cold end where we cant something to get cold or even we could put the hot end where we want something to get hot. So nowadays what people call air conditioning or heat pumps or refrigerators use this same thing. They are all heat pumps but the guys that make money buy knowing how these work keep it a secret so you call them to come and fix it... for money. They are all heat pumps, but what we call heat pumps is the machine that goes through a house wall that you can heat the inside of your house or cool the inside of your house. Compressors only run one way so the thing we call heat pumps has a reversal valve. Now fan fins side can be the hot side or the cold side and fin fins side would be the opposite of fan fins side. Boom you are now a refrigeration mechanic.
Thanks!
Super appreciated!
