Wow. Yours is a hot rod for sure. The two I have can't do anywhere near that level of heat transfer. If we ignore the little bit of extra heat to get the bottles from the starting temp to 32 degrees and just go by the latent heat of fusion, freezing two gallons of water (16.6 lbs) in 5 hours is...

Yea, I was busy trying to get an investigation report out to a client so I didn't have any more time to go searching. Got to keep them making the medicine.

I have a few to check myself.

Great job. Thanks for the follow up. Let us know how it works.

Looks like the injector line for the L70 is available on fleabay for about $40.

I don't have the manual for the Yanmar L70 here. You can find it online and see about the part number for the injector line. The same advice to try a local hydraulics shop still applies.

I recommend taking it off and going to a local hydraulic shop for a replacement. They should be able to knock it out cheap and quick. Here is a page from the LP master parts manual. That should point you in the right direction.

If your freezer is holding at -10c that does indicate you have a good delta-T to move out the heat from the water. What was the chamber temperature when you concluded the test? Edit - The volume I was using was 8.5 lbs in the first two tests with 4lb 4oz each in a 1/2 gallon milk jug. The third...

The next step in the experiment is to try and calculate the thermal performance of the insulation. I have my 8lbs of ice in the unit and I've set it to idle. It is still collecting the temperature data in the chamber. I'll monitor the chamber temperature and when the ice has melted I'll...

I bought mine via the classified here on the forum. I would say that is always a good option. You might get a better price if you want to roll the dice and buy directly from one of the auctions. I saw lots of 5 units going for a few hundred bucks. I think the ones I have came from one of the...

A little off topic but one of the best ways I've found to clean a combustion chamber is to use a mixture of methanol and water AKA windshield washer fluid (not the rainx or other stuff, the basic blue cheap stuff). Spray it into the intake with a bug sprayer. Also good for an octane booster for...

I may be in the minority but I've never really liked seafoam for anything and especially not to put in a fuel system. If your diesel fuel is clean and well stored you need nothing more than a biocide to prevent algae. If your storage tank has a breather system I recommend using a filter that...

I'm not at all implying these are toys. Far from it. Its a significant piece of gear that serves a specific and needed purpose around the world. Not just in the military. These things according to the manufacturer are sold to military and aid groups alike to transport fragile medical supplies...

I was going to look at seeing if a switch mode power supply could be slightly modified to replace the charger. I've not had a lot of time to play around with that idea though. If you can find someone parting out a unit that would be the low cost option. Temporarily running a charger/power...

It doesn't make a lot of amps. For some reason 7 amps sticks in my mind. The charger can put out voltage while not being able to generate real amps. I've not pulled one out yet to see if they are serviceable. If I were to guess I best they are well potted and a challenge to repair.

The time will be the same if the mass of the water is the same. What may be different is where all the ice ends up. On an open container some water will evaporate then deposited somewhere else. The total energy however is the same. The amount of energy it takes to freeze a gallon of water is...

Sure it can freeze something. It will take a good bit longer to do so than a home freezer will based on the tests of the two units I have. I stand by my original statement that is isn't well suited for dumping a bunch of stuff inside to freeze. It is better suited to keep things already frozen...

In case its not obvious don't put any load on it when you have ATF in the crankcase.

Have you seen it happen or does it happen when you aren't looking? When you move the voltage adjustment knob on the panel does the voltage change smoothly or is it jumpy? I would check all the wiring connections and exercise the adjustment pots some. Pull the top cover over the control panel...

Looking at the datasheet for the compressor and the MAX capacity is well within the range of what would work for a coolshirt refrigerator.
