-> Here's an idea which follows on the principles you just mentioned. It -> requires an old fridge that still works, a couple of small electric -> boxer fans, some clothes dryer flexible hose, and some ingenuity. -> The first step is to build an air tight enclosure around the back of the -> fridge over the evaporator coils. Perhaps just thick plastic film will -> work as well as a wooden box. Attach the hoses at opposite ends, say top -> and bottom, and direct them to the outdoors some distance apart so the -> air can't feed back into them. One hose will be the air intake and the -> other the heat exhaust. In line with the intake hose mount a first fan -> to push air through. -> Second step: the freezer compartment, jam the food channel shut, -> disconnect the air circulating fan, rip off the insulation over the -> cooling coils to expose them, make a hole either side of the freezer and -> jam a hose into each hole so you can redirect the cold air to a -> distance, one hose will be the air return, and mount the other fan -> inside so it pushes the return air through the cooling coils. I have no -> idea how many BTU's might be extracted from the inside air with such a -> contraption. I think you will find the "Air Conditing capacity of a Refigeration system for a Freezer would be quite low. While you might be impressed by rhe Bel.ow Zero temperature it might keep the Freezer section Rembmeber it is only Removing the Heat form a somewhat small Very Well insulated compartment. IT is NO match for the Heat Load of a typical Room. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5* Origin: Shakey Jake's *ALL FREE BBS* Santee, CA (1:202/1324) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 202/1324 10/3 106/2000 633/267 |
