keep me cool portable air conditioning cooler 120v - solar air purifier

I always wanted to have air conditioning in my shed, I mainly use it for storage, but I always look for something there!
I also want to carry something with me, wherever I go, if we just hang out in the garage on the deck, it's like going to a friend's house.
I really don't like the warm weather, so this is the answer to keep me cool!
This project has attracted a lot of other ideas like the idea of CameronSS, but I need a bigger idea!
It all runs at a voltage of 120 V, so I don't have to worry about the battery, just bring the cooler and a long extension cord.
I bought as little material as possible and this item is only about $20 (
Other than what I throw pigeons or something)
I could have been able to get away with it for about $10, but I wanted some options that I was willing to pay.
Here's what you need :-Cooler (
Found Mike kicking around my cabin)-
A couple of larger AC fans, I got my fan from the K & N air filter display and my local auto parts store threw it away while it was out of business --
Install the coil from the discarded refrigerator.
Keep an eye out for the neighborhood on garbage day. -
Old air purifier fan, or any 6ish inch fan you can find-
Hardware store toilet drain pipe flange (
Orange, Blue or green)-
Found the shower drain again at the hardware store (
This is Orange. -
Fountain pump, port freight. -
7 "pipe elbow, hardware store miscellaneous tool screwdriver hammer drill angle grinder clamp saw, etc. I first took the K & N display apart and then left the surrounding plastic pieces there.
It helps to install!
Then I took the air purifier apart and removed the motor.
Sorry, I don't have any more photos about this step.
But for the convenience of installing the motor, in addition to the actual "mounting" bracket, I grind the plastic off with my angle grinder.
It is suitable for shower drain.
You will see this in the next steps.
Now that the fan is out of the big box, I took a piece of cardboard and outlined a hole a little bigger than the fan, but still smaller than the plastic around it.
I also made a hole in the toilet flange.
When I finished, I also completely removed the lower side rib part of the cooler, which made everything easier to handle.
Surprisingly, the fins of the refrigerator are almost perfect under the hood!
I stole about 11/32 PCV hoses from the same parts store that was closing and hung it on the trim end of my fins.
One for absorption and one for output.
I don't want to be distracted all day by the sound of dripping water, so another hose should allow the output to flow under the pipe.
The pump just uses a suction cup to put on the bottom of the cooler and I have a hole in the top of the cooler to get the power cord out.
I decided to fix the radiator fins on the lid with a screw bar of about 6mm (In stock).
I just cut the covers to a certain length and then "press" them up and lift the unit up.
I installed my fan and flange.
The fan will blow to the cooler.
I made a hole in the power cord from the fountain pump.
Note, I found some peels. N-
At my local hardware store, the seal was sewn in the gap, so I picked it up.
That way I can fill everything in and if I see what I'm doing wrong or want to do it again
If I do something, I can peel off the big pot.
As you can see from the photos, the Caulker is already very old and has about half in the tube.
I had to cut the tube from the side and work like play --dohADDED!
Here is how I connect the pump.
I just cut the end of the fin and connected my PCV hose.
I then connect the end of one of the hoses to the pump, which has just been installed at the bottom of the cooler with suction cups, connected to the pump outlet and secured with a hose clamp.
Looks a little loose.
I just took the air purifier apart and trimmed off the extra plastic with a angle grinder.
I trimmed it almost perfectly to fit on the drain opening and made it easier to install enough "labels" to reuse the drain screw!
Then I installed the fan and the gorilla stuck the speed control knob to the other side.
I took out my liquid tape and put a nice coat on the edge of all the connectors because that's how I scroll.
I added my 7 "adjustable elbow and I had to cut the bottom and I just drilled the rivets so it could fit well inside.
I use more sealing and stripping the edge of the Caulker caulking flange, install the fan and drain assembly, and then add the pipe.
Since I drilled out the bottom, I made it very tight and then fixed it together with two metal sheet screws.
I'm not too tight and it's still adjustable.
Fill the cooler with cold water and ice now and cool! So far so good!
Nice, very cold, but only 80 s outside, so there are about 90 s in the shed.
I think the real test is when it's over 100!
My only concern so far is that the 158GPH pump may not be enough.
They did a 260ish at the port freight company, so I might have to upgrade to it in the future!
It's been a while, but I have some rough numbers. . . .
The ambient temperature in my shed at the end of the summer was popfi and since the door was open I was unable to do a cooling estimate as I used it to cool the equipment of the outdoor mobile theater. using 2 -
15 bags of ice I was able to produce a "cooling factor" and the cold air blew out of the cooler for at least 8 hours and we went to bed after watching the movie, so the time could be longer. . .
This is a great choice for equipment cooling!
