Gringo Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hello I've been scrolling through the internet recently, and I found this little toy: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-Mini-Compressor-Tiny-Compressor-DC-24V-300W-R134A/1274670748.html I immediately got an idea of using this to build a highland cooling system...what do you think about it? Will it be efficient enough to make a chiller out of it? This could be a nice solution for not so big tanks IMO Best Regards Mateusz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmatil Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I don't see why it wouldn't work. But you still need a complete system, evaporator and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Cheaper to buy a fishtank chiller... That's what I thought...after summing up all costs (evaporator, hoses, pumps etc.) aquarium chiller is a cheaper way...nevertheless, it's worth taking into consideration while building a compact "all in one" system.

pmatil Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I was considering an aquarium chiller to cool my terrarium but since I grow only lowlanders I don't really need it. I built a heater instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S. Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I payed nothing for an old (still working) fridge - just some time to pull out the cooling unit and place it into my terrarium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
