Hey deepend,
If you can source out the parts for us or even better build chillers using commercial aircon compressors, I will consider buying if the price is good! Quote:

What you said about the performance of the split unit chillers are true. But 1 thing to consider is space in singapore. Most of us lived in HDB flats. I dont think anyone wants a compressor unit in their living room. I thought of the idea before. Unfortunately, I've to run a very long distance of copper pipes to the compressor in order to place the compressor unit in a well ventilated place. I gave up the idea in the end. |

hi barracuda
hi bro,
good analysis there with the costs. how abt the brand reliability factor? shud a gd chiller last how many years? back end service? these were the questions i had when i bought my chiller. currently using Dailace fish cooler. It is 1/3 horse power and 110 watts. quite efficient for my 127 gallon tank. i also think that MH has a role to play in power consumption as heat generated will incur Chiller Work OT. but all in all, i think yor analysis is pretty clear and mathematical. thks . now i know how much i spent a month. $$$$ i guess it is part and parcel of the hobby. b regds. |

after thinking abt bro deep_ends suggestion,i came to think that will it be much costly if we are using it in SG?
as a chiller we use is because its more energy saving than turning the aircon on. if we were to use the aircon compressor..with chiller..will that be more expensive in terms of electric? as older aircon compressor consume more electric. |

i think majority of s'poreans wont mind paying a little bit more 2 save on tat little extra mile 2 work.
moreover, some chillers r fitted with extra functions like my pacific coo is fitted with low n high temp alarm. |

bro ReDDeviLs,
yes, we use exactly the same kind of outdoor compressor on a split-unit aircon. However, it may not be that easy finding a 1/2 or 3/4 HP compr. nowadays. You could ask your aircon technician to look for you though. JB I can't really say, since prices there are generally higher than in KL. The prices I stated apply to KL. Quote:

hey bro,
Of cos I can. Only thing is either you guys take a drive up here to KL and pick them up or I send them down to you. Building them is not viable since the compressor is gonna be outdoors anyway. They would best be assembled at your premises. But for the compressor, it's better to source them in s'pore since I don't think a car will be able to cram in so many units Quote:

Jeff,
I think you have missed the point. The compressor sits outside the apartment, not indoors. That's why there's no noise and sound inside the apartment from the compressor, unlike boxed units. The copper tubing is included in the price of installation of a typical aircon unit, and it should be so, for the chiller too. In most cases, the technicians use conduits or plastic white casings to enclose the copper so they're not so obvious. Quote:
