I have a cooling system from old coke machine.
I wanted to use the parts from that and make a beverage chiller simlar to a wine well.
which is a chiller that chills the water in a tub and circulates the water around the bottle of wine to cool it quickly. i would like to make something similar but bring the temp. down just be low freezing. so i have very cold water circulating around the beverages to cool fast. that's the project.

i didn't know if i could convert the system that cooled the coke machine in to something that is cooling water.
currently the system is coil of copper tubing with a fan in the middle blowing over the coil to cool the drinks.
i'm new to this so bare with me. pls.

any input is helpfull thanks.

Remove the fan, put the coil in a tank of water, fit a pump to circulate the water.

Very basic suggestion but you get the idea...

thanks for the relply.
i would like to swap out the old coil and replace with a larger one in order to have more room in the middle for beverages. currently if i remove the fan and place it in the water i could place one can/beer between the coils. i would like to expand it in order to place many. would it be just a matter of adding more ***** since i've added more space?
thanks.
