got my air chiller finished . just in time for summer. going to be 104 today. hope to plumb it in today before it gets hot. 20180525_181449.jpg
 
So the coil cools off the water and then where does it go? How is it set up to chill the air?
 
no doubt if done right it'll work great. put some ice in there too & styrofoam cover?
got photo of drain? couple cans of brew for after cleanup? :)

when i see full roll in hardware store, i always picture it in 5gal bucket of icewater & quick connects.
havent thought about drain or slow leak down low.
 
there is a drain at the bottom of the coil in case it makes water also a drain to empty the barrel. my well water is around 50 degrees . the air is regulated entering the coil so very little flow . i only run 10-15 lbs through the hood. on days i use it i will fill it the dump ice in it right before i start. cool your head and neck your body wont know it's hot . :)
i plan to wrap it with foil insulation i have laying around . country boy country ways .
 
Wow, way too hot for me! I'm in Mass/NH, in the 70's. I don't think I could work if it was that hot lol
 
94 degrees today . chiller rocks ! this is with well water and a couple of frozen gal milk jugs out of my freezer . next we will try a couple of bags of ice too .
