I want to use a scrap minifridge (R134) to build a quick cooler for single 16 ounce canned drinks. My idea is to make a coiled copper tube that the can slides down into. I saved the condenser and compressor, When I was disassembling it, I burned through the capillary tube. Can anyone help me calculate the capillary tube size or, lead me to a chart that shows it? I know there are easier ways to cool my drinks; but i think this would a neat project, Also, are ther calculations for optimum evaporator coil length? My HVAC night classes basically taught me to be a parts changer and a fill 'er up man.
