Hi,
I'm not an engineer, I just know a little about refrigeration because of having commercial stuff built for my fish factory. Please can someone advise, am I likely to find an "off the shelf" chiller that could be useful for this job?
I want to build an insualted cupboard to replace my home fridge. (Am planning to use large draws like sausepan draws. Timber panelling over the insualtion.) For cooling I want to pump a secondary refrigerant like propylene glycol. I guess the coil in my cupboard wants to be just above freezing temp. What evaporator temp am I likely to want at my chiller? And can "off the shelf" chiller like a potable water cooler work effectively at this evaporator temp?
