I'm planning to build a glycol chiller for two brewhemoths. I've done a LOT of research and have the bulk of my build squared away, but I'm unclear on how I should go about selecting the air conditioner.
I've found several old threads discussing builds that use a 5000 btu a/c to power multiple conicals, so I think I've got that part settled.
More confusing, though, are vague references that one should go with an a/c where the "copper lines go up and over to the evaporator from the compressor" (whatever that means) -- how can I figure this out without first having a chance to disassemble the a/c?
Also, can anyone confirm whether it's easier to install a non-digital a/c?
Bottom line, I'm not all that handy, so all suggestions are welcome if you know of a specific unit that's easier for this project than others. Much appreciated!
