It takes 8.33BTU to reduce 1 Gallon 1 degree Fahrenheitġ832.3501BTU for 1000L (in imperial gallons) May build another insulated hood around the Esky and also enclose the gap a bit better, will see how it goes firstĪlso adding to this, if I have done my math right (below) I should be able to manage roughly 1C temp drop on 1000L of water per hour (running flat out and allowing for losses)ġ000L is 219.97 Imperial Gallons or 264.17 US Gallons Can always go to high cool if I need too but trying to keep noise down when it does fire up, you can also see i've insulated the piping to hopefully reduce any condensation It will get set on low fan cool to start and controlled by the controller when it arrives. Also got my cup holders going haha, these may get filled at some pointĬut up the original plastic front fan housing so I can put the controller in something more sealed, the controller is also on the other side to what it was from factory. Should fit a few pumps in ok, its 33L so hoping its big enoughĭiscovered this Esky has a access port so will use this for lines and cables etc, might slot it or do some bulk heads into it or something. There is a gap behind the chiller condenser so that liquid can flow behind it, when my pumps arrive ill have one pump that will push liquid through it (still working out the best way to do it) Modified Esky, had to slot the top for the pipes, I haven't sealed them at this stage as I want it to be able to be pulled apart (may do in future tho) Not super pretty but mainly made from recycled materials and on the cheap Not a huge fan of cooling coils so will see how it goes I have the below gear from Cheeky peak on order so should give it a work out, and I will be hopefully be getting rid of at least one of my fridgesĬheeky Peak Nano X Unibucket 30L (cooling coil)Ĭheeky Peak Nano X Unibucket 50L (cooling coil)īrewtools F80 (Jacketed) Not due till xmas and haven't ordered/commuted yet Submersible pump for the IBC (in the post)Īlso in the process of getting an IBC, but its proving tricky with lockdownīetween the thermal mass of 1000L of water and this homemade Glycol chiller I am hoping to get my cooling water as cold as possible for wort chilling to both reduce cooling time and also get down to lager temps.Ĭan always add a car radiator/fan to the loop if needed as wellĪiming to reduce water wastage and also keep to a minimum of power used.600LPH Submersible pump to cool a unitank/fermenter (in the post).Submersible pump to cool the plate chiller to cool the water for my wort plate chiller/RC/SC (in the post).Submersible pump to recirculate the Glycol in the coolant tank (in the post).Modified the cover (probably shouldn't have bothered) but I had already drilled out some rivets as I didn't realize it just slid offįired it up and it seems to chill still so clearly did something right Ill hard wire the re-circulation pump to the STC so that its always on when the compressor is, will probably hot glue the temp probe in the middle of the coolant tank
