If the probe is waterproof, keep it in a sealed small water bottle filled w/ water - this will minimize temperature fluctuations when measuring air temp when you open the door.

Good stuff mang. Now if only I could find an affordable cooler or fridge. I have been looking everywhere and even used stuff is crazy priced. Look forward to the next video. Thank you

Ya man now that I've experienced the Coolbot, these commercial fridges are an overpriced, over-engineered scam lol. I paid $1,100 for my used reach in for reference. Your other option is to build an insulated room for yourself, which is pretty cheap to do as well. There are some videos on youtube of people building the rooms to use with Coolbots.

Funny stuff. I'm a subscriber to Nature is always right, but was looking for info on walk in coolers and here's Dave! I think I'm going to build one of these in our house in Florida. No refrigerator is ever big enough.

Awesome!! I wish I could buy a Coolbot now, but I just invested money in season extension. Here in upstate NY season extension is a must this time of year. This was a great video though and I will save it for when I am ready for a Coolbot. Thanks.

Nice Tim sounds like you made the right call! There's only so many upgrades possible each season as much as we want to do them all! Thanks I hope it helps with your build.

You,sir,... are brilliant! :) keep up the good work.

Thanks Babette!

Well this is neat! we just rebuilt our fridge aboard our sailboat (that we live on). We would love to hear your thoughts!

Nice video 👍Is it ok to run the unit inside? Usually they suck air from outside right? Does it heat up your room? Condense a lot?

@AlessioSangalli

By definition it will heat up the room, like any normal residential refrigerator

I have a similar box on a window unit inside a walk-in. My window unit just gave out and I replaced it yesterday. The new window ac unit keeps freezing over. I can't figure out why the old ac unit worked for 3 years and the new unit, same BTU, keeps freezing up on the inside.

Will running the AC draw a lot more power vs just a normal fridge?

Does the ac ever shut off? Not extremely cheap if that sucker runs constantly

You and Curtis are so lucky to find this equipment for less than three thousand dollars. I am not as lucky. Can you suggest some resources aside from Craigslist?

How do you feel about the available space for your production scale? I've been looking at a non working 3 door fridge.

It's pretty good, I can fit 9 of my blue totes in there. I don't need anything bigger yet, I have about 5,000sqft in production.

5:10 Actually, that is a spade bit, not a hole saw.

I just checked the coolbot online it is 417 USD, AC is around 200-300 and you have a less efficient cooler with little less than a new cooler. If you buy used cooler, I believe you can pay less. What is the economic side of all that hassle?

With a coolbot being over $380-460. Couldn't an inkbird temperature controller work? Is there another way to override the a/c units temp sensor?

2 inkbird working together1 for the ambient temperature the other one so the ac doesnt freeze and 1 little heating element to cool lower than 60f'

Save even more money by getting an inkbird and disabling the therm. on unit. 50 bucks for it vs ridiculous price for coolbot...

@@JV-ds5oo no, it's a true thermostat control for 110v. You will actually disable the therm on the a.c. unit and use inkbird for the control. The coolbot uses a heattape on the a.c. therm to trick it to turning on. Inkbird also has a plug for a heater if it's getting to cold at night in your box.

Does the AC running indoors not produce a lot of condensation and heat? How do you deal with that?

@NaturesAlwaysRight

Never had a problem with either

What about condensation since your unit is inside? Where does it drip to?

@NaturesAlwaysRight

5 жыл бұрын

The drip happens on the outside of the unit, outside of the fridge, but I really don't see much water from it whatsoever

Curious where you were able to source an AC for $100ish. Everything I've found for an 8k BTU LG is $250 to $300.

what does it cost to run it? Window air conditioners are notorious for being expensive to run.

Thanks for reaching out! Because the A/C is pumping out cold air into a well insulated space the compressor will actually come on less than it would in a traditional setting, using less electricity. If you think about using an A/C in your house, the cold air has lots of places to escape and the compressor will need to come on more often to keep you cool. The CoolBot was tested by NYSERDA and they found that there was a 42% energy savings compared to a traditional refrigeration system. You can read their report here: www.storeitcold.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/NYSERDA-CoolBot-Report-May-09.pdf With a little more information from you, we can calculate a rough estimate of what your CoolBot powered cooler would cost you to run.

Where does one procure an ac unit for $100?

Good ol craigslist. I got a really good deal.

Lol I should make this my room sneed in aus

So I have a question how much money are you actually saving if you're running an AC unit all day? Isn't that tacking up your public service bill

@NaturesAlwaysRight

According to Coolbot and their data on their website it's actually cheaper to run this. Seeing my bill I don't think it's more expensive than a commercial compressor.

Stc1000 temperature control cheaper than coolbot

those caterpillars tho

What about the ice, this ac will build ice over the evaporator in one day of use
