Building a Chiller of Sorts, Tubing Type?
Posted by admin on October 2nd, 2009 at 11:09pm
So I can’t afford a good aquarium chiller and it seems the cheap ones on ebay are not worth it so I’m going to do what I always seem to do and build a simple cooling coil.
Now normally I don’t have material restrictions but with the ano bath obviously I need plastic tubing. I could use titanium but don’t have the cash.
All I’m going to do is get a coil of tubing and drop it in the ano bath and run cold water into it from another bucket of ice and water with a pump.
The question I have for all of you is that it seems most tubing at the hardware store is fairly thick walled and acts as an insulator. Does anyone have any suggestions to an inexpensive easy to find tubing I can use for this project. It has to be able to transfer heat through it’s walls.
