Drinking fountain chiller

Post by happydaze »

A buddy of mine gave me a drinking fountain awhile ago, and the thing has been in my way around my shop since. I finally came to the conclusion that I'll never install it, so I decided to re-purpose it. I tore it apart and built a carcass around it with scrap.

I just recirculate water through it, and so far it seems to do a fair job at keeping the cooling water from getting too hot in my 15 gallon reservoir. I'm doing 8 to 9 gallon runs in my boka reflux http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 32&t=47778.

Here are some pics of the cooling reservoir manifold and the chiller.

Good stuff mate, nice box you did :thumbup: . We have them fountains at work and every time I use it I've thought about this!, glad someone finally did it!. I always thought it might get hot cause ours at work loose coldness after lots of use, but it's working for you by the sound of it :D
