Though most people might not initially think of it that it might not be a lot of lost airflow, intake will mostly take the path of least resistance. I really like your idea to solve that by using foam shrouds to direct all of the air over the fin coils. I might also suggest using a removable micromesh screen to cover the coils and keep any house dust from collecting and clogging up your radiant fins. Also an evaporator tray or pan like a long planter box under the coils to catch any condensation. I'm also thinking that the use of a cooler V.S a bucket would help your run time per changing out water for more ice. Thank you for the great idea and the theory. I'm off to build my own version now. :)

So cool. Great out of the box (fan) thinking. I was thinking if you run each radiator on it's own small pump, rather than have a two stage system, you would have two single stage coolers pulling from the same reservoir. I believe this would be more efficient. As the water makes it's way through the top radiator and into the second radiator, the same volume of water will gain more heat in the second stage from the environment, and return this heat into your reservoir, reducing the run time. Running each radiator separately from the same reservoir will also make the top and bottom radiator run at the same temperature, rather than the top being cooler, and the bottom running a little warmer.

That would make it possible to use one pump and have equal temperature of water to both coils.

The power went out over here in Southern California a few days ago and it was hot. Luckily I had mine built but I realized it wasn't blowing cold enough with copper tubing. I like the combo with the Evap cooler too. After I get this together, that will be my next project. Thanks for the videos and the explanations.

hey there! i'm glad my videos are helping you! i'm also glad you're making the projects. since the "copper coil" unit is just copper with no fins, the heat transfer is only partial. these fans with aluminum radiators are much better at the heat transfer (and therefore cool the air much better). i'm glad you noticed my other videos on how to use these 'fans with radiators" along with my DIY evap 'water chillers'. that makes indirect evap cooling and is a great way to make the cold water without using ice. for anyone interested in evap water chillers and indirect evap cooling here is my main video on the topic kzitem.info/news/bejne/qmyrnK15nmqDrX4

I tried it out myself today and was on a budget so I just got one transmission cooler and even with just one I was so surprised how cold it was blowing works great defiantly gonna order me another Hayden radiator it’s like it was made for it. The only issue is I get a lot of condensation on the water hoses. I am thinking of also insulating my Home Depot bucket or using a styrofoam cooler. I need to find a way to be more efficient and keep the water colder for longer. My ice tends to melt pretty quickly been getting a lot of 100 degree plus weather recently in Southern California.

@desertsun01 , thanks for putting this video. i used your method and did similar setup few days ago at my home. aluminum radiator, ice cheast for cold icy water, water pump, and tubes to cool the radiator,and fan behind the radiator to push cold air. the issue i noticed that i need a lot of frozen water bottles to use in the ice chest to keep the water cold. my goal is to have this system push cold air while i am sleeping for 7-8 hours. so achieve this 7-8 hours of cold air, i guess i need a lot alot of frozen gallons each night. which is not feasible in this case. Do you think, putting the radiator outside the ice chest -being exposed to the room temp- is making the icy water to melt/be hot quickly ? i have seen others do put the radiator(s) inside the ice chest, pull air from room to inside the ice chest, the intake air will hit the radiator inside the ice chest, cools down, and then pushed out from another vent to the room. do you think this is better than putting the whole radiator outside exposed to room temp and being losing cold quickly and in this case the frozen gallons can sustain for more hours ?

I was wondering about an electric ice chest that would keep water about 32゚or 35 And you could put Ice in it I thought about trying something like that and see if it would just be like an air conditioner
@desertsun02

hi. electric ice chest. sounds like a good idea. these things blow super cold air if the water is cold. (even colder than AC in some cases) because AC will only blow 15 to 20 degree cooler than the ambient air that it is cooling (whereas this can blow much colder air than that)

hi. it's attached with what are called worm gear clamps. a few of those come with the radiator. you can also get them at the home and hardware stores if you need to. the hose attaches one radiator to the other. it kinda makes it one big radiator

How long does it last the coolness ? In hot temp room and can you use this in a car? Thats would be coo so you don't use up ur gas ?
@desertsun02
3 жыл бұрын
hi. length of time it lasts varies quite a bit. it depends on how hot the room is, how much ice or ice paks you use, how fast you run the fan - thinks like that. if you have a steady source of cold water then it lasts "forever". (natural steady source is something like 'well water' (typically 55F) or a lake/river water).🙂

@desertsun02

hi. it depends a lot on your normal water temp range. if the water is say 72F and room is 85F you might get 5-8 degrees cooling. if your tap water is in the 60's then you'll get even better cooling. if your sitting in front of it you'll have the 'wind chill effect' also and that makes it 'feel' a little cooler. if the water temp and air temp are the same then there is no cooling.

@desertsun02

hi. it all depends on how 'solid' (and cold) your cold water source is. this design is a powerful air cooler. but with that cooling power, it warms the water pretty fast (as it pulls the heat out of the air). bottom line is: if you keep it stocked with cold water (and have relatively low humidity) - it works roughly as good at cooling air in a room as an 8000 to 10,000 btu ac. (in terms of square footage it covers and overall drop in room temperature). note that that is the 'best case' (meaning with water temp 35F, humidity 5 to 10% and fan on low). if the water source is cool but not super cold or you have high relative humidity it will work more like a 6000, 4000, 2000 or 1000 btu unit *proportionally on down. it's really just proportional to how hot the room air is, how humid the air is, and most importantly how cold your water source is. the main thing though is just keeping the water cold. the colder the water the colder the air. btw the reason humidity is a factor is that it is harder to cool down humid air than dry air. note that this type of cooling doesn't remove humidity from the air but it doesn't add any either. that will stay about the same. that's about the only advantage that standard AC has over this.

sure, you can make it any size. you could use a drum fan and a giant heat exchanger if you wanted to. they sell huge heat exchangers (up to 36" by 36") at 'badger insulated pipes' website. you'll need a large source of cold water.
