Junk yard finds

Okay seems you grabbed a small condensing unit.
Sure could be made to a phase change system however the compressors not the best for this. Condensers overly large, and the receiver would have to be removed unless you used an expansionary valve that needed one.
Basically, ebay it.

Um, no. Nice find. Looks like you would turn that into a descent chiller for the 50 bucks it will take to finish it out.

Well I don't know much about the systems themselves but i do have a very good understanding of materials and how to work with them. The reason I posted this thread was to gain more knowledge about how to put something like this together and if I should buy said system at the yard. Clearly you have a better understanding than I about coolant systems so why don't you share instead of beating me down because i said radiator rather than evaporator.

Everybody has to start someplace NoL 
Being from a junk yard, I'd give it a careful examination. It may have been there for a reason.

Its not so much a junk yard as it is a surplus yard. Industrial company's when thet go out of business they can sell all the equipment to the yard for cheap. Then they test it if they can and then sell it at a higher price, but yes i will most definitely have them test it first. if they can.

wow bro you must have alot of time on your hands haha first the huge rad and pump and now this! good luck with it bro if you do get it to work let us know iv always wanted to do something like this!
I didn't mean it at that way at all!
I teach people almost on a daily basis, however I do recommend reading the guides first, after knowing a few people who have tried to jump ahead and just "go with it" there has been major problems. Someone got r22 in the face, others have had almost as bad. It's not something to play around with, people intern or apprentance for years to get to the level of building and tuning systems. And even then its just tuning normally, building and designing brings in a hole nother level.
