Hi all.
Trying to diy a cheaper glycol system without cutting up a window ac unit. #1 because i am handy but not that handy and #2. I want to use it in the house and swmbo would not go for a compressor of that size kicking on (small house).
I have a spike cf5 with cooling coils.
If i get a 1.1 cu freezer only, figure i can get say about 1 to 2 gallons of glycol/h2o mix in there. If i let it run for a day or two it should get it pretty cold.
Would the little freezer be able to cold crash to say 36 or so? I assume it would be able to keep ale temp at say 68, maybe even lager at 40 to 50 for weeks?
If i got a 3 cu freezer only, was able to get say 3 gallons or so of glycol/h2o, would that increase chances?
I am not an hvac guy. My gut is telling me if this was possible then i would have found more threads on it. I am guessing since basically all i find is window ac builds my idea is not feasible.
Apprecaite any insight here.
Thanks all.
