REFLECTOR: A/C

[Laurence Coen]

You guys should click on Peters reference and discover that system is exactly like the system Alex describes.  It removes moisture from the air instead of the reverse.

Couldn't a system be made using s small heater core/old oil cooler, that has the ice water pumped through it and re-circulated back into the cooler, then a fan on the core will cool the air without the moisture issue- other advantage- the core can be mounted remotely from the cooler with insulated lines- I am way too busy these days to play with this one too much, but I think it would be worth a look

I saw those, but they release the moister of the ice melting into the air, like spraying water to a fan. While the commercial ones, have a pump and run the water through a radiator and the fan sucks air through the radiator, cooling the air and not releasing the moisture. The theory says that too much moisture in the air also makes you feel warmer. plus the fact the over colder surfaces it could condensate. As always every small thing, seem to carry a bunch of science behind making everything to tricky!

I don't have any direct experience with those portable A/C units.  I have looked at them and feel like they are really, really expensive for what they are, e.g. glorified ice cooler with a blower.  I'm a fan of the site "instructables" and found this:

As the author claims: a $10 solution for a $500 problem.  

 

Best,

Hi there, 

 

Gladly temperatures are going down a bit, but August is still to come. I wonder if any of you have any experience with the portable water/ice units to cool down the cabin, or a portable true A/C unit. 

 

I have an IO-360 and I was thinking on having a permanent A/C unit hooked up into the engine, but that seems to be a very pricy item for just a couple of months of hot weather a year. So, I was wondering about the portable units.
