Also be sure to remove metering device inside coupling nut where small line connects to several very small lines at A-coil, if present. If very small lines are just soldered to the larger line via a crimp you are in business. Also a 55 gal steel drum full of water, pumping to coil and returned to drum via some inverted misting sprinklers becomes evaporative AC. Not as cool but still works well enough to drop the temp several degrees. Also old condenser fan makes great attic/exhaust fan.
I seen that today… i have been thinking about making that 1 as well. I have the copper line and a nice fan, and a boat bilge pump to circulate the water flow.
Hmm very interesting, as i have a bilge pump that i use for my …eheem water purifier that distills nasty water to make purified water. I have the componets on hand. I will give that some thought… i am sure it will work, the mechanics are sound.
Get a LARGE cooler, freeze ya some gallon jugs, get a small pond pump from HD or Lowes, drop in the cooler with ice jugs, add water, connect pump line to suction line (larger) on A/C coil, run drain line from small A/C line to cooler. Plug in, turn A/C fan only. Cold water runs through A-coil to cool the house. Did it when mine went out after Hurricane Ike. It really works great. Depending on home size the gallon jugs of ice should last for hours and you can freeze more and rotate as needed.
EEEHAWWWWW!!!
People, the end of the world will come, that’s for sure ! Start a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved
Vontade de tomar uma cerveja!
Just adoreable. Leave it to kids to find ideas.
Excellent point. However our freezer is located in a inclosed porch attached to the house.
If your freezer you use to make the ice with is inside the house, it’s going to throw out more heat to make the ice.
Swamp coolers! Very nice!
Great idea, I can see where bigger containers could be used with the same design and function, thanks for sharing.
cool idea
Great job Alex. I might just have to do this with my boys ! Good job describing how to do this !
Long LIVE The CONSTITUTION !!!
nice

Good idea James. I hope it cools down for you guys soon.

No i didnt, it rained right after we made them and it cooled off anyway…lol figures… but tomorrow will be a different day.

Hmmm….i dont see why not.
Great idea!! Wonder if during cold weather it would work in reverse with hot water? For a tent or camper.
great idea!!
Good idea. I bet it would work fine for a small space. Thanks Alex.
Nice job, Alex! High five !!
If I could I would send you one take care Doug
You ain’t thinkin like a hillbilly. Cando is one word. 😉

Looks like Hillbilly is just another word for “can do”. Ah darn that’s two words! Great job fellas
Been there before my friend, I made another one with copper coiling and a Fan in the past. Thanks for sharing
If this works .. could be very useful for indoor growing . Did you check the temperature gauge inside to see how much it lowered ?
Nice!….Thanks for showing how to do it.
