about chillers

[Blenny]

but heard that his warranty only one year and after he is done with his stocks he is not going to carry chillers anymore. as I say...I've heard only ha

[fishchemist]

The owner(Ah Tan) is actually an aircon technician. Yes, the warranty is for a year, but he said that he can still service the chiller after the warranty period. He claims that the running cost is less than 10 a month.

I just got my chiller, model 110. Cost 950. Capable of chilling up 400L. Now chilling my 4 ft planted tank, very quiet will give further comments later.....

What is the HP for the new chiller?

ps: Thanks for selling me yr old one.

What is the recommended hp of chiller to use for a 4 ft tank?

[DeepBlue]

1/2 hp.....though I am using 1/4 resun for a year liaoz

[Deep_Blue]

actually wats does horsepower signify?

The amount of energy the motor is running? or how much strenght the chiller has? or wat? can someone enlighten?

[Tanggy]

Think its another way of rating the cooling power. like lumens / par etc.

But for this kinda cooling equipement, the BTU is the important measurement. Think the 1HP= 12000BTU or something like that.

Cud post this "New to the Hobby" , but really have a question about chillers.

Read some posts about cooling one degree in a certain time period say one hour. Pardon my ignorance, understood it to be just that literally.

However, also read question like two degrees differential ? Wat does it mean ?

Feel quite dumb to ask, but must ask otherwise suffer with regrets. Please enlighten this newbie.

Which chiller size should i get for 3ft tank?

[Nautical]

My tank 3 ft x 1.5 ft x 2 ft with sump tank 2.5 ft x 1ft x 1.25 ft.

Just bought a Resun CL450

Know of a friend who cill his 5x2x2 tank with a 1/4 hp artica without problems. According to him, the run time very short. He change after problems with R@. But we wont really know unless have seen it in action for few hours are try one on our own la.

Seriosuly i dun believe but anyway we also have to know what lighting he use and other equipment which he use that may produce heat

Actually i find haliea chiller rather efficient.... Why no good review abt it

My tank 3 ft x 1.5 ft x 2 ft with sump tank 2.5 ft x 1ft x 1.25 ft.

I think you will have slight problem cooling down your tank.... Anyway i would suggest anyone not to get resn CL series.. it is super and i mean super noisy

[Nautical]

Sorry, I dun agree with you leh.

May be its a new chiller, and the noise level is very low. Thought I read in some thread that Resun improved in this noise aspect.

I just monitored the cooling effect. I set chiller at 26C.

When at 28C per the digital display, the chiller compressor kicks in. That's when I started timing. At five minutes later, the chiller compressor cuts off registering set temp back to 26C.

Question :- is cooling period of five minutes considered slow ?
