Hi guys
I'm in the process of building a DIY glycol chiller with a 13000 BTU portable air conditioner. I need this chiller to service 6 x 350L fermenters. Each with a 13 meter 3/8" coil
As usual the bath will be a cooler box but I'm unsure of what size the cooler should be seeing as this is a 13000BTU compressor.
I've placed the evaporator in a 48qt coleman cooler and the evaporator takes up too much space in the cooler and leaves no room for pumps. So what I'd like to know is if there is a specific guideline I can follow with regards to cooling power and the adequate bath size for that. Or is that factor not really that important?
I'm gonna have 6 pumps in the cooler so will need space for them as well as a recirculation pump.... I have a 100qt coleman xtreme cooler here that I'm happy to repurpose for the job but is 100qt overkill?
