MM2K6 Room Cooler evap cooling mod modification

[Goonie Goat]

I have to move my set up out into the shed because the wall will be comming down where it is to become a second lounge room. So will be building one from insulated coolroom panels. 3m ×1.2 × 2 high. It will need to be a sealed setup running c02 in summer to combat the Brisbane weather. So 7.2 m3 will be the area i need cooled

Hmm, are you still going to be using the shed to work on things?

Your shed should be on its own circuit probably on a 20 amp breaker, you could daisy chain off one of the power points and run your 2.5mm 3 core earth/live/neutral through conduit to the spot you want to put your aircon condenser, hook that upto one of these

Hook your split AC up to a plug and plug into isolator.

Anything under 5.5kw is legal to hook upto a plug, you will only need like 3kw

Yeah i need aircon just don't want to draw to much juice

That's why I got the small one but, it was completely useless! I'd get a proper box A/C or high efficiency split system. My mate runs one of the good portable one that you vent out the window, some of them have ok energy rating.

The other thing I wonder about is A/C cooled environment and the effects on the plant's.

Aren't you always going to have a problem with thermodynamics with these sorts of things if they dump the heat of the cooling unit back into the same space it is cooling - regardless of cooling efficiency of the cooler alone.

The comparison says it's a personal cooler - like small space heaters - I'm guessing to justify it's use despite low efficiency
