In this vid i wanted to see if I could build my own air conditioner that actually did something unlike those lame Peltier plate things. make ac with fridge compressor

Amazed that hose can take 250 PSI High side pressure.
That size of hose it look like it only rated for 150psi but somehow he got a super ver of it lol
Just what I was looking for
My AC runs a lot colder since you showed me this trick. I rigged up a water jug to drip right on the radiator, just gotta refill it every 4 hours during the day.
glad i could help, i bet it uses less power now too
@@ianbuilder Definitely, thanks again bro.
We used portable AC units for interior rooms in a university which were hooked up to sinks for cold water sources. They worked great and used about 1/4 gal of water per mins
Nice job. very cool
Pre cool the water with ground loop geothermal.
Nice work for explaining the process. How did you size the flat plate heat exchanger?
very nice
I want to convert a portable AC into water cooled like this , but i dont have the knowledge about air conditioner and the welding of copper tube, this video is great for me
Me: randomly searching aircon and im here now +1 Subscribe
I love they way he explains shit
3:48 the censoring lmaooo i love this channel
we don't actually care abt identity leaks now
How to use water to cool if i have no water tap? Can i use a water pump instead? How to get cool water if i have no water tap? Do i need to add coolant liquid to the water ?
Nice modification. I think you can cool the water using a high efficient radiator or use the radiator used on the AC so that you can extend the heat away. This way, no window rooms can have AC now. I have a batch freezer used to make ice cream and it is water cooled which water is wasted to drain, was thinking on using a radiator to cool the water and place it outside/different location.
Ok now we got it working 😂😂
so true
It would be easier to put the condenser heat exchanger in a tank of water even if you have to make the tank out of plywood and J B weld.
And then when the water tank gets warm?? Are you going to make a water chiller for that tank?

Not everyone shares your IQ. Most people assume that one way or another the water will have enough cooling surface to maintain temperature. This is a way of using water cooling without cutting the refrigerant pipe.
nice
can you make an ac like that that runs on 12v only?
How long did it run like this? Any data on amps and such? Thanks for the vid it’s thought provoking.
its still going drew 400w at 120v
whats the difference in watt? is it more efficient in power consumption?
yes, it was close to 80% more efficient
@@ianbuilder What is your math on that? All you have eliminated power-wise was the condenser fan. You are still running the compressor and you still need a blower for the evap coil. Condenser fans usually only make up about 10-20% of the power consumed in an AC unit. Supply fan motors are also about 10-20% and the compressor is about 70-80%. And, you are either going to waste a ton of water on an open loop, or you still need a way to cool the water on a closed loop. So you will need a fan/radiator setup somewhere to reject the heat from the water. All you did was make this unit a little quieter.
0:56 I've never heard you say this before.
Water cooled condesners are already there in commercial units
not in room sized units
Great music lol
When is jet powered ac dropping?
damnnn i need to think how that would work first
Bro, when people want to water cool AC units...this is just the start. Once you get some cooper tubes on that thing it'll be sick, however, be careful with refrigerants, compressors can be oicky about what thyley want to oump.
My guy it’s Bryan I need a 36v battery 20AH for my Jetson bolt pro😊
email me
What is it again I forgot bc
Next step, replace your home ac condenser with a more sizable heat exchanger, get a hot tub, profit
I wonder if this will get like 100,000 views like your other ac video
i hope
The EPA would like to know your location.
as you could see i used butane instead
@@ianbuilder Please tell us where we could see that you used "butane". At 6:39 we can clearly see you used a can of 134a with a chemical formula of C2H2F4.
No where in this video do we see a can of R600a with a chemical formula of C4H10 (butane / isobutane)
For the ignorant, the main difference between these two refrigerants, 134a is nonflammable while R600a is flammable.
Also, why wouldn't you use propane rather than butane?
R600a (C4H10) costs $0.65 / oz, while propane (C3H8) costs $0.01 / oz

@@ianbuilder My apologies sir. I stand corrected
@@PH_INFO_101 its all good ,thanks for watching
😂😂 amazing 😂
