Still need to pressurize and check for leaks, then I will cover the suction line is insulation. Then pull a vacuum and charge. Won't be able to charge exact it will have some refrigerant in it. We will charge more exact when I put a pump and circulate water through it. Stay tune

finally it's Chiller time. Going to install do-it-yourself Chiller I built, I got water running through heat exchanger. Going to charge it up now, first I check for leaks oh, none. Then I pulled a vacuum. Ready to charge
the old Chiller, which works fine I will keep as an emergency. And the one I just built both have a cabinet

piece of cake , I reckon she's Cooling she don't look pretty, but she'll get me from point A to point B, with peace of mind. Window unit has very low mileage on it. Even if it doesn't look that way

Update chiller still operating. We've had days continuously at 107 degrees at times and the chiller has no issues keeping the water at 74°, water volume is 90 to 100 gallons.
I forgot to mention the whole system and the chiller are outside, of course under a canopy

It's a workhorse
