im talkin standard r134 hermetic refrigeration compressors. i converted a water cooler into a chiller and would like to know some specifics on the compressor like what size in hp and what these numbers mean. i got this from the website that my compressor was made but do not understand any of it.
once i compile enough info on it, i will do a complete how-to tutorial on it. its been up and running for several mos so far
when i do a search, i find people are using this particular comp(danfoss tl2,5f) in extreme pc cooling projects as well. im sure the larger models can be converted the same but we need to know what specs to look for. this could be an very inexpensive diy folks!

even if this 1/12 would bring 100 gals down 7-8 degrees or 30 gals down 20-25 degrees this a great deal. the average 1/10 chiller costs over $300 smackers and you can pick up a water cooler for under a hundred, waaay less in the scratched and dented isle
whos worried about the shell, you could easily find these dirty and not fit for drinking out of but once disassembled it is perfect for our needs!
