i was assuming that these pumps are 120V AC, not 12V. is this correct? since ive been going on that assumption, ive been planning on wiring an outlet inside the fridge for pump power, and perhaps a neon light inside (so i can see my drinks in a dark room
, and for kicks. also, i might put a 120v ac - 12v dc transformer in there, to power some fans i want to have blowing over the condensor. that is, if my plans to wire it to the relay for the fridge compressor fail.
i was gonna go for the mag 7 over the 5, because its only a few bucks ($5) for a whole lot more flow.
so, to answer your questions, yes, the pump will be in the fridge. no, i dont think it will be in the res. i am planning on putting the pump below the res, which will be at the top of the fridge, with the condensor laying in it (thats the plan anyway...). i figure ill run a tube up through the bottom of the res, and probably make the tube, going to the inlet on the pump, right next to the evaporator, so the water/coolant will be a cold as it possibly can be.
im still trying to work out just how im going to get the res up to where i want it. i think im just gonna have to kinda cut part of the metal piece attached to the evap away (ill post a pic of what im talking about after i get them off my friend digicam). then i figure ill just cram the plastic container in there. with that being the case, i think i will have to resort to having a fill tube going into the bucket, cause i wont be able to take the res out without emptying it. and i wont be able to fill it because it will be to close to the top of the fridge.
anyway, talk about a tangent there! please post thoughts, thanks.
