Refrigeration tech here. The condensing coil on most modern fridges run along the outside walls of the unit. I'm thinking you got really lucky in not popping one. That unit also has a flammable refrigerant, just felt you should know. Over all, I think this diy is really smart. It should work well for a long time I suspect.

@@TheBrokenLife He showed the freezer's evaporation coil in the video, it's the condensation coil that's around the outside, but you can feel the warmth. They're usually bonded to the outside metal shell to radiate heat efficiently. And yes, flammable refrigerant happens a lot, which is why there's a large label about it. Big refrigerators have an larger condensation coil with a fan, so their walls are mostly insulation and the occasional wire. My thought was to put it on a stand and go in/out the bottom, which tells you how paranoid I am of the walls...

I'm not a refrigeration tech but by looking at the copper going up from the back of the unit into the side walls 5:45 I was concerned with his thought process. If you'd like to answer my question though, would it make a difference to the cooling rate overall if he put spacers between the coils? I'm thinking it would be more effective if the metal was being cooled equally on each circumnaviation of a coil, rather than, as is, where the metal to metal touches. It might not, of course, because the metal, once filled with cold water would just cool itself. Thanks. And yes, good build, and opened my eyes, to diy processes.

As suggested by The Broken Life, you need to grommet where the hoses pass through the metal cabinet. The vibration of the compressor, along with the sharp edge of the hole in the sheet metal will eventually saw through the tubing. While actual passthrough grommets are ideal, one possibility is to force silicone rubber caulk in and around the hole. This will cushion and trap the tubing in the hole, thereby eliminating the sawing motion of the vibration.

I was thinking to push the coil ends through the wall and then do all the connections externally. Would that negate the need for grommets?

@@ValeriePallaoro You still need a grommet or bead of caulk to prevent the sawing motion. The stainless steel tubing would take longer to saw through, but any time you have an "edge" like a hole in sheet metal, you need to ,either bond or grommet. Look at the firewall in your car (sheet metal wall between the engine and interior) every wire or hose is grommeted or bonded.

This was an interesting build! 👍 If you revisit this chiller in the future, I'd recommend taking that stainless coil down to a hydraulic shop and having the ends flared so the hose is less likely to ever come loose or leak. I'd also suggest bulkhead fittings on the pass-through locations on your fridge so you have less of a chance of abrasion ever wearing through the hoses, improved air sealing, and less foam exposure (Cabinet foam is extremely flammable. That cyclopentane (analogous to butane) sticker on the back is a warning that the foam is literally full of it). I'd also consider putting the pump on a moisture sensing outlet and routing the hoses above the height of the tank (maybe they already are?) so they could never siphon it empty. I use a 5/8" siphon hose to transfer fuel from cans into my vehicles and the flow rate is is about 1.25 gallons/minute with about a 24" fall. If heat gain through the hoses becomes an issue, pipe insulation is pretty readily available and reasonably inexpensive. It's worth seeking out the stuff with a rubber outer shell that has an adhesive sealing flap. The stuff HD usually carries is just foam with a barely glued lip. The rubber stuff also doesn't "hate" being spray painted so you could somewhat make it match your decor.

Brady, this was an awesome DIY. I would like to suggest, just for a little more efficiency, some spacers in the coils to allow air to pass between them more easily. I may be wrong as your refrigerator environment may be rather static in regards to airflow, but thought I would suggest it anyway as I suspect a coil spacer would be relatively cheap and easy to find.

The metal coil should be immersed in water inside the fridge, remember that air is an insulator so the current setup isn't efficient whatsoever. The fridge then cools the water and it acts like a heat sink, look up home brewing and distilling and you'll understand. The temperature of the fridge can be set much higher thus it won't run constantly and waste electricity.

I was wondering just about this. Maybe a shortened 5 gallon bucket with a hole in the bottom for the lower pipe and then caulk / aquarium sealant around it. I think the water would make the heat transmission MUCH more efficient, like when you add a couple gallons of water to the iced down beer in the cooler to really get it cold fast.

Maybe not the most effective way, but sure a fun way. Since air is great insulator, and the fridge is filled with air, you need a lower temperature in the fridge the if it was filled with water. If you want to be even more cost effective, there are probably a lot of second hand fridges, ppl tend to get new when changing up the kitchen and fully working ones end up on the second hand market. Lastly, i love these videos. The production is great and your voice is relaxing and nice. I'd like audiobooks read by you.

I wish I would have seen this a few years ago. Maybe Scarface would have made it. Let me explain. So I worked in a grocery store and wanted to rescue a lobster that we had for weeks. Apparently people were picky about eating a lobster that had a scar on its head. Not sure how it got there but needless to say he was the only one left week after week after several replenishments. Scarface was the perfect name for the fellow on death row. There was hope. I wanted to purchase him and take him to the ocean but here in Florida that would of been another death sentence. So I thought about an aquarium but well that was pricey. That along with keeping the aquarium at a low temperature was another problem. Long story short, I went in for my shift one day and found that someone didn’t mind the scar. Thanks for saving Leon and for the learning experience you gave me. Wish I would have done the same. RIP Scarface.

I'm currently working on building a paludarium for some Kaiser newts, and seeing that I live in the scorching central valley in CA, I'll definitely need to get a good chiller for these cold-loving amphibians. Though I'll probably just end up buying a prefabricated chiller, the idea of building one from scratch is certainly intriguing. I might try this project myself once I have a bit more experience under my belt; I'm not a very handy person, and I'm sure I'd find a way to screw this up somehow if I tried it now.

Read all the (well, not all of them, of course) comments. There are some very good tips to add to the functionality of this build, use a second hand fridge (cost reduction) where to site your drill holes (safety) grommet your tube holes (reduces wear and tear on the plastic) don't take out the drip tray (otherwise freezer drip water into the main area of the fridge) There's a hella bunch of knowleagable people in the comments section. Though, my thought is no Kaiser newts in central vally CA, (they are stunning, tho) I'm sure some warm loving species would be kinder (I can't imagine how I'd feel if my cooling system broke down on 'em) Be brave. DIY is really all about failure until you get it right.

Nicely done! You can also increase it's effectiveness buy insulating the clear tubes externally. The more insulation, the less strain on the compressor. I had used a long freezer (a GE I believe) and dedicated most of the right side of it for my 45 gallon tank chiller. It worked well (dropped the temp on average of 15 to 18 degrees in a fairly warm basement) and I had plenty of space left over for other frozen goods to boot, so it was a nice thing to do all around.

As a failsafe, I'd add a thermostat to shut down the fridge incase it gets too cold. I'm not sure how sensitive he will be to temp swings but a lot of inverts are. Overall a great job!

Aluminum tape with insulation tape around the outlet tube could help keep temperatures down even lower, also seal the holes on the refrigerator with foam fill let’s get that thing chilling

This was a well thought out project that is affective and cost controlled. I suppose you could even add a filtration system into the hose to remove suspended particles from the water of needed, requiring less time vacuuming the substrate. Leon is going to one cool lobster on those hot summer days! Great job..I think you are spoiling him...LOL

It is an interesting concept and build but I'm curious to see how long the compressor lasts in the refrigerator. They aren't really designed for a constant heat source and instead for short bursts and maintaining the fridge at a specific temp.

That's why he added the water bottles in the fridge, and freezer area. They stay frozen/cold, and lower the load on the system.

If the stainless steel coil is immersed in a bucket of water , it should overcome it.

If you live near or in a college town, these types of mini fridges are up on second hand sites like CRAZY this time of year! You could save yourself an extra $100 bucks by buying a second-hand fridge!

Great project, you are relying on the air flow within the fridge to circulate around the stainless coil, you could increase the cooling capacity by adding a low voltage fan to blow the cool air through the coil, you can buy usb powered fans from Amazon with speed control for a few dollars.

It's super calming to just watch DIY projects when done correctly, like this, other times the person is doing those '5 minute DIY' stuff that just is plain stupid considering their usually making something that's already kind of easy, to be harder

We need Leon!~ We need Leon!~ We need Bradys description of how Leon is doing! Please get Leon a side by side aquarium filled with other fish, so he thinks he has other aquatic things around him. Or better yet he needs a flat screen tv that projects happy life at the bottom of the Ocean.
