This is a excellent idea for people working under a tent on events they can't use a ac unit,this point is for the haters with negative comments.

[@humanmale4610]

It's more of a utilitarian idea... Useful when it can be utilized on a 105 degree (F) day and your AC takes a crap. Just rotating ice packs by using your freezer. I'm makin' one!!! I am an HVAC/R guy and something like this would get you through the night more comfortably during a system breakdown.

[@mccloughan1968]

This may not be an appropriate application for everyone, but it's perfect for us. We rent a house in Seattle that has no air conditioning, and we aren't allowed to make any structural changes. Only a few windows open, and all but one are tiny, so we do our best using cross ventilation and fans in the windows to exchange the air, but it's still 80+ degrees inside the house between 1-7 pm. THIS is a perfect solution for us, so thank you, fixitsamo, for taking the time to make this video.

[@RotomWash]

Portable air conditioners only need a small window. They work just like a window unit but sit inside the room on the ground with a tube used to expel the hot air via the window.

[@DeeDee-ff3mb]

I keep my windows closed throughout most of the day and have them open at night, one on each side of the house for that cross ventilation. If I cross-vent during the day time, I’m blowing out the cool air I generated over night and taking in the hot outside air. My rule of thumb: fans are removed and the window is closed before sun hits that side of the house. I used to underestimate the how much heat the sun actually generates; I think most people do. Blackout curtains, close doors to rooms. Inside fans stay on to continue air circulation. There’s a lot of variables, what works for me might not work for everyone. It keeps my place cooler than it is outside. Tolerable.

[@prospeedmotors]

[@Shadownasty]

I built one of these years ago with a condensate pump. Yes, I'm also an HVAC technician. The key to how well this setup performs will always depend on how cold you can keep the water supply. The insulated cooler this guy used was a nice touch. I'd recommend freezing half gallon jugs and setting them in uniformly to fill the entire cooler with solid ice, basically, & only run enough water that you need to fill the circuit/make it circulate. It's not AC, but they'll help out in a smaller space some.

[@Shadownasty]

[@amedaius8492]

Not an invention first off, in fact ice is how the original ACs cooled, and a "ton" of cooling referred to a weight of ice. Second, unless you purchase ice or use a refrigerator/freezer outside to make ice, this actually adds heat to your home.

youll need a small towel to catch the condensation that will form on the coils. I just made this fan for myself, and it does condensate enough to leave drips of water.

[@dadio2005]

Tried it. Air was cool directly in front of coil but had condensation build up which was dripping water all over the floor under my fan. Also, definitely need to use a proper cooler. I used a bucket with ice and water for the test run. Didn't last more than an hour before ice completely melted. I will try it again with a cooler in hopes of keeping the water colder and longer. I live in the Philippines so needless to say, this would have been a great idea had it work a little better. I'll give my results with the cooler later...

Safety note: make sure the copper pipe reaches down below the fan motor, almost to the floor/table/whatever surface the fan is on, then make the potentially leaky water connections down there so if there is any leaking, it doesn't go into the fan motor and burn down your house 8)

[@olivitokitty9854]

[@Old-Skull.]

[@waynedavies3185]

Watch for condensation building up on cooling pipe, that can cause issues, with both electric motor, wires, and good furniture finishes. Remember all AC's have condensation buildup on the cooler areas. I get it with my store bought A/C., outside my window.

[@sakkiemaree4955]

Very good portable AC. Very good price as well for the performance!

[@vichiawong9335]

You are very smart. Thank you for sharing it.

[@DaveSeavy]

I would recommend leaving the copper tubing a little longer on the ends, so that your hose connections aren't right above the motor. If you have a leak, you don't want water getting into the motor, so I'd say leave the ends longer, and bend them down below the motor.

[@marcadominguez]

it's okay water won't burn out a magnetic motor

[@marlenec9870]

I was thinking about that myself about if there's a leak someone might get cooked .great video though.

[@terrybarker7019]

yes good idea.

[@1989Chrisc]

nice one, Dave

[@DBrentWalton]

I think I'd also put a drip pan under that coil. High humidity climates will get condensation and you could end up with a huge puddle of water under the coil.

[@6105boe]

Pretty neat idea. However I would suggest 1 improvement for people trying this.. Right now if the connection between the copper and plastic ever gets loose, it's right over the fan and to my mind that could be dangerous since it could short out the fan and potentially start a fire. You can mitigate this risk by having the copper tube be longer and bending it so that it's lower than the fan's electrical compartment and perhaps further back.

[@fabianvandermijde4066]

starting fire with a short cut :) these days the eletric will shut off immediately

[@6105boe]

In most parts of the world in most buildings - yes. But better safe than sorry, or in this case dead. Never trust a single point of failure to always work. ;)

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Fabian Van Der Mijde, nope. Fans like that usually use 2 prong plugs, thus are not protected by differential breakers.

[@fabianvandermijde4066]

@bear Arms if there issint one in the plug itself there is a RCD wich checks if all electic power that went in the house also comes out. if there comes less out as there goes in. it will shut all the power off.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Yes. And for RCD to work you need a ground wire, which fans typically don't have. RCD doesn't care what exactly is plugged into a socket - a fan, a wet fan or a human.

Very good idea. I would put a coil in the back of the fan too. Because it draws air pressure from the rear.

Place a second pump to feed the return tank water into the cold tank. This should cool more and longer. I'll make one and see what happens. Again great video. Thanks for sharing.

This is actually a much more efficient system than many I've seen here on KZbin. The only problem with using ice/water as a coolant is that ice is expensive - either in money if you buy it yourself or in time if you make it yourself. And added to that it is the time spent swapping out bags of ice and cleaning the system.

HI cool Idea , i will keep this in Mind just in case the next summer here in Germany is warmer

[@thakuranuraganand738]

Use a small portable freezer instead of the ice box. It will run longer before the water gets warmer.

[@URAGANU]

Freezer will consume way more power :D Additional power over the fan and water pump.

[@thakuranuraganand738]

Yes it will certainly but still less than a conventional AC. I am not sure how long the Ice water bucket will stay cold itself.

[@MicLo18751]

That makes no sense because the freezer will output the heat it takes from the ice directly into your room.

[@Tvpc1971]

Yeah thats good, but what about condensation and I wouldnt have put the hose clamps right over the motor in case of a leak.

Thank you for the video.

[@VinnyBully]

Awesome idea. I can use this in my garage !!

Interesting. Would have liked to see how long that ice last (blowing cool air) before needing to be replaced. I know it is somewhat temperature dependent, but would have been an interesting data point.

You can make it last longer by using bottles with frozen salt water in place of naked ice cubes Then you can just pop the bottles of brine back into the freezer when they thaw out completely. Makes for very easy reuse. Salt added to water causes it to melt more slowly. I think a good setup would probably last at least 4 hours.
