The tank

We have recovered a old phase changing cooling system from a Mexican beer cooler.
And we have built a tank from 6mm glass. using STIXALL adhesive and sealant (not your normal silicone)
After replacing the capacitor the cooling system worked like a dream. We're currently working on replacing the fan for the condenser of  the cooling system to minimize noise.

The recovered phase changing cooling system
We refurbished the compressor.
forgot to take a "before" picture
Made in Mexico
This cooler will never please another soul with a cold bear.







Turns out that break cleaner isn't very good for cleaning glass.

The new vs. the old capacitor

Water testing

Note to self
Glass is fragile!





Small experiment with industrial fans that failed!
Found out later on that one does never connect AC motors in series.

We caused a "blackout" at my workplace and almost managed to weld together the fans.



We found out that "Wonder Wipes" are great for cleaning glass.
