Posted	chillers for your tank
09-05-2006 11:49 by trik	iv been thinking about getting another chiller for my marine set up my last one went bang.i was reading some where about a guy who used a beer chiller from a pub and cost him a fraction compared to the aquatic ones.it just so happens i have 3 of these units in my garage. all the pipe work inside is stainless steel it must be food qaulity stainless as normally beer passes through it. if any one out there has any ideas on this i would love to no.if it does work then i will have a couple for sale CHEAP. RICHARD.

09-05-2006 17:30 by Ed	DR the compressors prob need gas R407c cost you about £70 per chiller ,if its empty will prob act like a heat pump.
09-05-2006 17:49 by trik	DR yes it was it just burnt it self out . if they run out of gas they genrally shut them selfs down on a presure switch or over heat stat.

Keeps my tank below 27 deg C on the really hot days that is sufficient to protect the livestock and I insure the temp comes down over night by cooling the whole house by opening my back door and one window up stairs causes a missive draft through the house as the hot air goes straight out the window makes the summers barable to.

11-05-2006 12:47 by D.R.	The tank was a cold water setup with native species of inverts and fish from our coastline. Temp is normally at 15oC. The Aqua-med chillers were quite new under warranty with fans cooling them. Perhaps a brewing chiller is more apt
11-05-2006 20:45 by deejdave	Only problem with beer coolers is they are not very accurate. With a decent aquarium one you can set to the nearest degree exactly what you want. I sell some with titanium heat exchangers built in too so will heat in the winter. email me if you want prices (delivered with free p&p takes bout 5 to 7 days)
