Air cooled condenser

Post by shadylane »

I have a "base board heater" that is made out of 1/2 inch copper pipe with aluminium fins on the outside, its about 6 feet long. I haven't cut it open yet to see whats in it. I was wondering if anyone has used one of these yet for a condenser? It would be nice to use my still as a heater for the radio shack this winter. I've been using a liebic and I'm tired of having the garden hose freeze up because I forgot to drain the water out of it. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated

Man, it must get cold where your at! I complain of the cold here in Melbourne, but clearly I shouldn't. BTW, if that made no sense......blame the UJSM.

I see a picture of one that somebody made so it can be done but will need to be cleaned out really good.I dont think it will work as good as a leibig.
