I don't know how I managed to miss this message months ago. Back in the 80's I had a book about energy-efficient/solar remodeling. The author recommended that...
Hi Anthony, This is Greg in MO. My family still uses the chest freezer converted to a refrigerator and the smaller matching freezer for all our refrigeration...
Here is our update on our chest refrigerator conversion. We bought an old freezer and used an external thermostat. We haven't had a problem adjusting to the...

My 12v 10 watt PV panel directly wired to a circulating pump does quite well, runs slower in cloudy weather, but still runs. Homepower`s advice is to NOT use a...

Wow! Thanks Greg for sending me so much information. From both the experience of you and Robert in OKC, it sounds like I would be better served by buying a...
Hi, I was checking out the archives today under "peltier" devices and thanks to one of you, don't remember who, ran across the term "Hilsch-Vortex". I looked...

"The catch is efficiency. These devices use a huge amount of air for just a little cooling. The electrical consumption is very large." Wouldn't that depend on...
Hi Anthony, It has been awhile since I have looked at these devices. I suggest you goggle it to learn more. I think the efficiency is in the range of needing a...
Thanks Brad! I'll see what else I can find. Anthony ... From: RefrigeratorAlternatives@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RefrigeratorAlternatives@yahoogroups.com] On...
Okay.. please forgive my ignorance. But I was reading up on the Hilsch Vortex device and one site that sells them, says that they take 80-100 PSIG. What...
That`s what`s nice about using the PV panel directly wired to the circulating pump- the more sun you have, the faster the flow, less sun, less flow. This helps...
Pressure isn`t as much of a problem as is volume, usually expressed in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) I have a small 12 volt pump that can reach 80 psi, but ...
"Doug Kalmer" <sunart@...> ... There are also fans that put out several hundred CFMs, but use less than 10Watts, because they function at low static...

I've been considering purchasing/building a small freezer or refrigerator unit, for medicines and long term storage of yeast. It shouldn't be much larger than...
These require large volumes of air (cfm) and large pressures (psi)! Therefore efficiency as mentioned is out the window! They are typically used in industrial...
