Topic: Gingerman - Yet Another Judge Eric Odd Bribe Request

Lemons Midwest HQ has recently changed locations and, as it turns out, it has no functioning air conditioning. This is a foolish oversight on the part of Lemons Midwest HQ's manager (me), one of many such things. If you've been around, you've no doubt noticed that I request odd bribes when I tend to request them at all, but if anyone has a functioning wall or portable A/C unit they don't want, it would sure make my life easier.

Before everyone starts digging into their crawlspaces and there are like 90 goddamn A/C units being dropped off at my feet in the Gingerman tech shed, just call "DIBS" like a real Chicagoan right here and we'll stop at two of 'em if anybody has one.

Any Lemons team worth their salt would bring you a family pack of coolshirts and long enough tube to allow you to connect to your refrigerator's cold water dispenser and still roam the house...

Or a large cooler for the living room and/or kitchen that you all can hook up to at the same time.

Random extra left over ACs are great for making garage cool shirt systems actually. We bring this one to thompson every year and it's freaking amazing. Condenser coil is made to fit inside the cooler, aquarium pump keeps water moving so it doesn't freeze up around the coil, huge bilge pump feeds a network of feed hoses. We can plug in 4 people right now, going to bump that up before this year's race.

Build one, bring it and extra cool shirts to a summer race, loan to HQ for the weekend, become best person ever.

I can send one (I'm not going to GMan) with somebody if you don't get one volunteered- or you can come pick it up in Aurora if you want it sooner smile

That's awesome! I'm going to try to put one of these together. Do you have any pics of the tubing network? And I assume you mean the evap coil goes in the cooler.

Eric - I don't have any AC units, but how about Ween's Freedom of '76 single?

Look at the repaired cut lines top left of the cooler, you will see where the evap pipes were inserted and sealed back.without letting freon out.

Whichever coil gets cold, that's the one that goes in the cooler. I mix them up all the time. Literally just cut the AC housing back, remove the blower fan and all other foam etc so it's just hanging in front of the rest of the unit. Then cut a slot in the cooler and drop it in and bolt up to a board, then re-seal the cooler.

The tubing is straight forward. I just bought the biggest bilge pump I could, ran a short section of the appropriate tubing, then I just bought a bunch of fittings from home depot to make a series of tees that feed the hoses out of the cooler.
