See the Waterchilling Forum over at XS for info

Well, I bought an AC unit, $70 off of ebay. 8000 BTU monster that weighs like 75 pounds. The condensor and pump are huge, and the evap starts developing frost in about a minute. I plan to put the evap in a cooler filled with ~50% antifreeze/ 50% distilled alcohol. The mixture should get down to about -30 deg. C. Then you pump this through a normal WC setup.

I was looking at an Iwaki WMD30RLT, because it was made to pump chemicals. I chose the 30 because the antifreeze really kills flow rates.

I have also heard that the Danner Mag 3/5/7 are good for this sort of thing, but does anyone here have a recommendation?
