OK I thought I was pretty clear in my OP. I stated exactly what kind of chiller for what application and asked very specifically about cost.This thread is a crazy confusing.
Like a moving target. Every response of yours adds a tinny bit more detail yet is ever changing.
Try reading your OP and all of your responses in order. It is a mass of contradictions.
Now we know that you have compared the internal components of a window shaker of unknown origin to the internal components of a water chiller also of unknown origin and you have concluded the internals are the same.
This makes a huge difference in the way we understand your OP.
According to your exhaustive research they are both the same and you should rest well knowing that your window shaker is the way to go..... Even though they are totally different.
Congratulations. You have answered your own question.

I have done extensive research on chiller units and many you can buy are made on a window a/c chassis. like these:

The small units are built on Frigidaire window a/c chassis with the same compressor and condenser. In place of the standard evap coil there is a copper coaxial heat exchanger. I have pulled one apart. I know exactly what I am talking about. Clearly you do not.
Please explain to me how they are "totally different".
Better yet, if you don't want to answer a simple question about COST of chiller units for cooling lights, don't respond at all. I'm sorry this is all very confusing for you and your poor reading comprehension skills. But please stay out of my thread if you can't keep on topic.
Congratulations. You have answered your own question.
pretty hard for me to answer that question, eh?I'm asking what YOU think about ONE question. I already know what I think and how I like to set up grows. I'm not asking for advice on a setup, just what YOU think about the cost of chiller systems.
