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?
 
Do you set it up to a water head that puts out a mist? Put a fan behind it?
 
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 .
