It lives!
I guess a little tin can with a bit of propane for propellant can't stand up to R410a pressures.

It's been working okay without detectable leakage. Output air is 20F to 25F warmer than input air.
Set the power metering rate for 29 cents per KWh and it's showing $8 per month.
Even with all...

2 years, 10 months, 20 days later..
Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives..
Where does the time (and the R410a) go?
I turned on the old Santa Fe and it was still working. And, it was also still leaking...

Jeff,
How did you get the copper tubes sealed into the tube?
The copper OD is a pretty good match for the ID of the hose..

Even the 2010 328i xDrive? My kid's car is not so cool..
It needs more R134a, and some sealer!!
I'll have to get my Freon sensor under the hood to see what's going on..
I told her to run the AC...

I kinda expected leakage, but not this bad..
The unit isn't working very well.. The output hose is showing very low output.
Maybe getting a few oz per hour now. I removed the side panel and used the Freon leak detector.
The drain tray and...

Right now, Humidity: 96 % Outdoors. In the Basement, it's 50% RH.

Got the correct filters today, and the heat pistol is telling me the air exhaust vent is 90F, with the basement at 71.4 F right now.

However, since it's in the basement, the noise isn't much of a problem.
