That is so cool. (no pun intended) I wish you were my neighbor.
Here it tis. Ima gonna cool down on the back deck later today.
First pic is the radiator pumps. 3 small pumps 65gpm @ 300 ma each. One pump per radiator.
Modular construction allows me to remove the swamper components and use my cooler. Most coolers I saw on Youtube cut holes in the coolers.
Swamp module inserted ino Igloo Cube cooler.
Added chimneys. I gotta see if the insulation helps cold air at exit. Will find out today. I have a thermal attachment for my multimeter.
Neat stuff there Mr Tom. I gave away an electric cooler a while back, you might have been able to put it to use in this project.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I ran an hour on 10# ice from Fred's. The cooler will run a longer time, but it takes a lot of ice to get about 1 1/2 gallons of room temp water cold. After I get the water chilled, I expect the run time on 10# bag to be 1.5 hours. I will try 2 liter bottles of frozen water when I fire up again. Insulated water (water in the bottle) lasts longer than cubed ice. Something to do with heat transfer thermodynamics, heat conduction and thermal equilibrium. Can't remember much.
