Fan Air
Conditioner Project Part 2
Finally got around to extending the coil to the back of
my fan but the cleaning came first. There was so much dust accumulated on the
fan after using it for the last month. It was not easy to clean the dust on
that fan since I couldn't take the front cover off. I think I'll get a fan with
a cover to take off next time.
I decreased the amount of coil in the front. I had to
increasing the total length of the coil by using two more hose clips with a
small vinyl tube. I got a cooler and some ice packs. I tried using frozen water
in ziplock bags and they only worked twice. The first time, all of them had
punctured holes in the corners. Luckily it was only one hole or two so I just
placed it in the freezer in a way that wouldn't let the water leak. After that,
it didn't hold up.
I only tested using this set up at night when I'm going
to sleep. It makes the room feel quite cool but by the time morning comes, it's
still cool. I'm not sure how long the coolness last but I assume at least an hr
or two or even longer.
Well here are the final pictures. I'm not sure if I'll
make any more modifications after this.
