installation of air conditioning units for my home on the tree. So I thought, why buy a $ 250/C block, when I could build my
This is a very low operation cost, compared to the Central r/s and provides a cooling/heating, cooling only/heating areas you want cooling/heating, Heatley.
It is also environmentally friendly because it uses water as the refrigerant and can multitask, cooling/heating and cooling/heating your drink (or whatever) in the cooler.

take the fan. turn it to where he sits up front. Start winding the copper around the fan.
place all 6 "copper plate. After winding, attach the vinyl tube to feed the end of the copper.
Then lead the pipe to the pump. Plug it in. Then, cut the tube in half. The other half of the pipe clamp to the drain line, and bring it back in the fridge. Use the clamps to suppress page link between copper and vinyl hose.
Step 3: step three: love it.
Fill cooler with water and insert into pump. Let it run for 3 minutes to get the cold coil and then switch on the fan. Enjoy your new cold air flow! I did mods section changes to the step.
Step 4: Features
Okay, this device gives aprox. 3200 BTU/h.. It uses approx. 200 splash/120 running W (if not the above is just the evaluation), and it will be better if you use it for spot cooling (e.g., Blowing on you at night, cooling area, etc.). See updates (next step) for my ideas for a possible modifacation.
