[Asher]

23 pieces of secondhand refridgeration pannel, about 700 rivets & 10 tubes of silicon later...

Are you using a split system inverter to cool it down...

If so - how and what about the unit icing up - is this a problem.

 

[Asher]

Its a split system (non inverter type) R22 gas. The room is actually going to be a walk in cellar running at 12deg.
Its fabricated from 75mm thick panel so should be quite efficient power wise.
Not expecting the evap to be running all that hard but will be incorporating defrost times in the controls.
The unit has a test switch, which puts it in auto cool mode and overrides the normal 17deg min temp on the remote. This is why the room was running at 3 deg as we were just testing how low it would go whilst sipping a tasty English Mild. Plat at this stage is to probably leave it in this mode and just override the compressor with a Dixell type controller.

Ps. Theres room in here for one of those Oak barrels GMK :icon_cheers:

Awesome Asher.
No looking back now.
I love mine, and I'm sure you'll get lots of use out of yours.

Someone always takes it that step further to give us more ideas on how to get a quick ride towards divorce.

Nice effort paul, looks very tidy . Still, I dont think I've seen anything quite as divorce-worthy as this guy's coolroom

Put my new 'beer related Christmas present' Temperature/Humidity Datalogger to the test
Weatherzone website
Ran a log for 4 days between new years and now.
Its been a hot few days in Perth so a perfect time to see how hard the AC is working. It must have got to 38+ inside the shed - Minimum cycle time was 30mins in the arvo ,Max was 160mins in the early morning.

Currently the coolroom is set at 14deg with a 2deg. Hy..... So its more of a cellar than a coolroom...
