Hi everyone. Wasn't sure about location of this post. Hopefully this appropriate.
So glycol chillers made from old air cons are a bit crap. There's freezing up of coils to worry about, longevity of compressors and such. A lot of the drama is because when used, generally some pretty warm liquid is dumped back into the reservoir.
I've been thinking I'll return glycol to my reservoir via a plate chiller with rain water flowing across it.
Or!!!!.....?????
What about somehow sending the return glycol directly across the coils of a second air con unit???? This unit would be made to be permanently 'on' when pumping cooling liquid, and would certainly be more likely to bigger up, but couldn't this work?
I'm no fridge but I like to theorise.
Any thoughts? And "you're bloody nuts, just stick in a plastic container for a week" isn't what I want to hear. I like complex as much as you like simple
