Mini Desktop AirConditioner

Step 4 FINALLY!!!

Make shure all bond are dry and are strong..
and plug in your power supply in it and do a final check if everythings ok

Then add ice. and SOME or NO water in
switch on your fan.. nad place cover on top

would it work if we don't use heatsink??

[thenowthehere]

then it would just be a fan.

if you were to add water in with the ice, i suggest adding some salt in the mix. salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and thus allows it to get colder, so the AC is more effective. nice instructable.

[mcresearch]

Adding salt to the ice inside the cooler will not change the net entropy - i.e. the cooling power of the device will be the same.

[ScribbleMaster]

Adding salt will not change the net entropy, but the cooling power will increase: Because the freezing point of salt water is lower, the ice will melt faster, absorbing heat faster from the surrounding atmosphere (more surface area will be exposed by the accelerated melting). Because of air circulation, the temperature of the air leaving the system will never even near 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the effective temperature of the ice. However, if the air is cooled faster before it leaves the device, it will achieve a lower temperature, making the air colder than it otherwise would be. The downside is that because the heat transfer is accelerated by the salt, the ice will have to be replaced more often.

simple and very "cool" Love it...

[scarywaffles]

I really love how it looks... i do want to try it. but how many volts do it need ? and to those who know how to make it with just plug, pls tell me id be happy to know...^_^

Voltage varies depending on the fan used. The proper voltage should be labeled on a sticker somewhere on the fan.
