SRC Member Octopuffy Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 heheheh... interesting. If can, I finally find use for the mini fridge in my room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Volitan Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the fridge consumes more power than the chiller. So in the long run, it may not be cost effective. Another point to consider is whether the powerhead of the canister can operate in cold 'weather' conditions... If the answer to all the above is negative, then let me know. I oso want to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I oso want to try. wat's more important is that if we can put the small fridges we have at home to a good use without forking out more money to purchase a new or second hand chiller, den it's worth it mah!!!!!!

SRC Member ai[k²]wan Posted November 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 i believe it would work if its a drip. like 1 drop per second or 3 drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joestoys Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 that bad must think of other ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go-diy Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I also think it will work,if it can produce 3 degree centigrade drop even in 3 days time and stablise then,i don't mind trying. Can also put a timer for it to work only when the lightings are on,hopefully this way,it can remove some heat from those lighting (MH especially). But need info on which fridge model is the most compact and prices? Can anyone help? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryansimon Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 the only thing a mini fridge is good for is keeping cans of beer and coke cold for the late night soccer match (= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
