My first Refrigeration System! (Back in 2004)
The other day I found the Pictures of my first Refrigeration system, and I decided to post them to help others out there get involved with extreme cooling and overclocking.
Way back when I was just starting to play with refrigeration systems my parents were crazy enough to let me borrow the freezer over the weekend ? So I went to work tearing it apart and figuring out how it worked. It was damn simple once I got all the insulation out of the way!
After my initial rampaging I realized I was not going to be able to modify the unit for ?Direct Die? cooling, so I started on building a Water chiller. The first plan I had was to chill something like 20 gallons of water in the base of the freezer using it as a reservoir. But? I had a damn hard time preventing leaks! After watching the unit take its sweet time to chill 20 gallons of water to near freezing I decided I better use a smaller reservoir 😀 that?s where dads hunting cooler came into action! Cutting in a few notches to fit the liquid and suction line was easy. Paying the $50 for Anti-Freeze was a lot for a 14 year old kid who saved every penny for that 5950 Ultra!
The unit was a standard R134a Compressor with a cheapo refrigerator condenser but it did one hell of a job chilling my Anti-freeze to -50C
