copper evaporator
Hi this is my first post, I only descoverd your forum tonight.
I managed to put a small hole in the aluminium evaporator in my 120 litre bar fridge. A replacement evaporator costs about the same price as the fridge AUS$300.
If I replace the aluminium evaporator with one made out of 1/4 inch copper piping and silver soldered the suction line to one end and the capillary line to the other, would it work and how long would the pipe have to be? I have seen pictures of homemade keg coolers that have sprial copper evaporators.
The fridge is a fisher & paykel P120 which has a matsu****a compressor and had 60 grams of R134a in it.
Thanks
Nico
