the siphon method does not work. I tried it without the pump & used ice water & it did not cool much of anything.
The copper tubing was cold were the water went in, but it did not make a huge difference to the air temperature. I’m going to try it with a pump & see if it gets better if the water is moving faster through the tubing.
The good thing about the siphon method is that you don’t have to worry about condensation. -

I thought this was a great idea, so I went out & bought everything I needed to make one. I thought it would work without the pump, but it did’nt. The water will move without the pump, but the water moves way too slow to cool anything.
So I’m going to try it again with a water pump (like amit8sinha suggest) & see if I can get better cooling.
If the project still bombs with the pump, I’m going to try the “Redneck ac” that is the other videos.
Oh & there was not much condensation without the pump. -

I think it would work just as well to hang a few bags of ice in front of the fan, with a small pan underneath to catch the condensation., Remove condensate from the pan, and hang new bags of ice as necessary….Also the cooler seems to be blocking a lot of the airflow of the fan. I would suggest moving it away from the cooler.

a cheep way to cool a small room and i thought of using a wort chiller (for beer making) and place it a cooler with two fans. The chiller is hooked through the wall to a small pump in a large cooler. Once the flow starts it goes unbroken via siphon effect. (you have to get all the air out of the line to make this happen reliability)
i would like to get a flow meter the senses when the flow stops then have it trigger the pump back on. Any ideas.? -

i built a swamp cooler from junk computer case 4″ exhaust fan just only 12 volts and 50 rounds of aluminum coil with 2 pcs of 12 volts water pump and sensitive switch for water level which combined inside the computer case so without mess…you can use ice if you have plenty but i use only water circulation and as long you use it your room stay cool..my brother ask me the first order just cost 650 pesos only wihout labor cost.

Air conditioning is the process of removing heat. Heat moves from hot to cold. So the process is like this. Say the coil is cooled to -20*F and the air is 0*F, the coil is absorbing the heat and REMOVING heat from the room. Not lowering the temperature, just removing heat. Since 0*F still has more heat than -20*F.

Copper is a good choice for the heat exchanger, but just so you know copper is good because it doesn’t hold it’s temperature for very long, you want something that can transfer heat quickly to cool the air.
Another way you could improve this is instead of using copper hosing, which has a low surface area being round, go to a scrap yard or junk yard and get an old car radiator. Also instead of just using vinyl hose in the cooler use copper hose there as well to transfer heat on both ends! -

I read ALL 826 comments. Wouldn’t the condensation on copper coils &mess on floor ALSO evaporate eventually making semi swamp cooler. Could you capture cool coil condensation & feed it back into the cooler prolonging cooling a little longer? Found something called KoolerAire almost the same: bag of ice in cooler, lid w/ 2 small fans. Bigger blows hot air in and a smaller blows 20° or 30° cooled air out., Works about 4 hours. Ice is $2/ bag. Could get expensive. if just RV-ing/boating Y not?

@vw4x4 That would be much more expensive. Clearly this is a joke comment.
