i recently got an old fridge compressor which im not planning to cut open and burn out. maybe i can over pressure plastic bottles and things :P

@cheetawolf lol yeha :D, I always thought about doing over pressure tests on things except it would have the police here because I'm making explosions :(

hey how hot deos it get there?

and also whats the humidity like there? what %?

do you guys have swamp coolers aka evaporative coolers?

i just built one and posted a vid

u should check it out

once again its a really simple machine

[Aussie50]

@animebsd pretty hot, 46*c is what I remember it getting to last sumer.

Humidity isn't too bad down south and we do run Evap coolers a lot too, but I hate them since their not crispy cold and most often get neglected and breed germs.

but Evap coolers do work here.

Interesting. Around here black is usually "hot" and white is "neutral"/common.

[Aussie50]

@TehMG yeha, big difference between Aus and US/Canada power codes.

Red/Brown is Active 240V

Black/Blue or White is Grounding (Neutral)

green is always Earth.

but you have Center tap transformers that give you 2X 120V legs going toi the center tap plus 240 across both active legs.

[V8Jagnut]

@Aussie50 lmao yer.

[animebsd]

@Aussie50 oh ok cool!

yea i do know what you meen haha

[airconguy1]

@Aussie50 Yep, I would expect that thing to die soon. But it does a darn good job at heating AND cooling! On high fan the thing literally blows everyone away. (The tech said they needed a unit that big!). It is getting on about 3 years now! But the thing is quite noisy-not fan wise, the refrigerator going through the evaporator makes a bit of a hiss-as do the larger units

[Aussie50]

@bdixon86 yeah my average haul consists of 1 - 3 ton units, occasionally a 4 - 5 ton one.

we do get big ones but the company I puck up from deals mainly in small units/residential/commercial.

biggest I had was 20ton and it was a monster!.
