Know of any guides for making one?




 I know there's a lot of pages but I think that info is in this thread somewhere.

This is a little dated, But basically it shows how to make an A/C Conversion Chiller.

I just remembered that there is an old dodge van (parts car) parked behind my dad's shop that still has the a/c system. If I can disassemble it I could turn it into a phase change system, all I would need is a compressor and an evaporator block with a mounting bracket to get it to work. 
 
You guys know of anyone who could make me an evap. block w/ mount?

Ok, I pulled the condenser (full aluminum), it's looks to be in decent condition but definitely needs some cleaning.

 
I also found this, perfect size for a quad 120mm wc rad, has the fittings and everything (520 x 120 x 35mm{13 FPI}). Unfortunately it's completely made of aluminum, on the plus side: it's really light because of that.

 
And I found an old water cooler, I'm going to use the compressor from it, would it be good enough? The tank/compressor is roughly 6 x 6 x 6in (or smaller) so i'm thinking it's too small.

That condenser is about the size of mine, except for mine is half that size and double the thickness. (So yours flipped in half) I have 4 fans on it.

Ok, good, it's big enough then.
 
What about that water cooler compressor, is it big enough? Or does size not matter?

 That's your car, wow!
Picked you had a nice mustang. But wow.


 
Thanks, I've put around $114K in it over the years, and I Always get a Lot of Comments when People find out it belongs to a 69 Year Old "Senior Citizen". LOL!!


So what if you are 69, my late Grandfather Ron had a Cobra that he drove until he died in his 70s, his youth caught up with him, and he was one of the best drivers I have ever ridden with even in old age.  Also, Carroll Shelby was building great stuff into old age as well.  If you are 69 with a badass ride that you can and will use, more power to ya!  Im a gearhead myself, and hope to still be doing it at your age good sir.

Thanks Dave,
More than likely I'll probably still be doing it until they pry the steering wheel out of my "Cold Dead Hands", But That's a Long Way Off yet!
