a Mini split on a short chain , slip the evap and fan unit out the window and let it rip. I think its outlet fan will be powerful enough I would add a fan to cool the indoor compressor That's the Mods I think of what else do i need to do with a automatic type unit like this ?

I have a dehumidifier I made from a $10 second-hand window-unit that I gutted. I simply installed a drip hose into the drip-pan and placed it on a 5 gallon bucket. I used packing tape to seal up all of the side vents on the sheet metal shroud. and threw out the foam blocks that separate the hot side from the cold side. Next I removed the cold-side fan blade. Now, the unit is like a little piece of duct, bringing in air through the cold side and out the hot side, powered by the axial blades of the condenser fan. The reason I bring this up, is that if you did a similar configuration (sandwich the compressor between the the series heat exchangers) and use the plumbing scheme you've described [Jeff], you would recover a majority of the heat from the compressor during heating mode. This configuration might also keep the unit from icing up on the colder days for two reasons: 1) You have a larger evaporator surface for the given heat load with the dual HX. 2) You have the compressor in there giving you the electric resistance heat from the electric motors (compressor & fan). |
