Home air conditioner 🥝 home-made water fan for air cooling

Every year, the heat breaks new records, the prices for air conditioners soar, and you want coolness in the house always and without big financial expenses. We offer you several ways to save yourself from the summer heat, for which you only need improvised means and ingenuity. We will tell you how to make air conditioning at home.

Important! All home-made air conditioners use the principle of surface cooling when water evaporates. Of course, a home-made air conditioner can not be compared with a split system, but it can lower the temperature in the room by several degrees. Consider some examples of the manufacture of heat remedies at home.

Heat remedy from our ancestors

Even in the absence of cooling systems, our ancestors used a wet towel. They wrapped, for example, a bottle, and put it in a through place and during the evaporation of water, cooling took place. This principle formed the basis of the simplest climatic device - a wet towel on the fan housing. If the process is automated, then part of the towel can be dipped in a container of water, it will be absorbed by the cloth and evaporate under the influence of air flow.

Important! Overdried indoor air negatively affects the well-being and health of a person, so it must be moistened. If you like to do it yourself, you will be interested to know how to make a humidifier.

The most primitive home air conditioner

If you do not want to spend a lot of time assembling a complex device, but still want to make an air conditioner at home with your own hands, you will definitely like this method.

To create a cooling system you will need:

  • several plastic bottles with frozen water;
  • fan;
  • fastener wire or bottle tray.

Important! Plastic bottles tightly entered our lives. Someone throws them away, while others prefer to give them a new life. If you belong to the second type of people, read our post "Crafts from plastic bottles with their own hands".

Proceed as follows:

  1. Freeze bottled water.
  2. Place the containers at a distance of a couple of centimeters from each other, placing them on a pallet, or fastening directly to the fan.
  3. Turn on the fan.

Advantages of a homemade device:

  • cheapness;
  • reusable use.

The disadvantages of this design:

  • a problem with the removal of condensation bottles appearing on the surfaces;
  • the frequent need to replace bottles with containers of frozen water.

Important! Better place the bottles on a pallet so that condensate flows down there. The more powerful the fan, the more efficient the home-made air conditioner will be. Follow the link and find out how to choose a fan.

Pipe, water and fan

This is another option on how to make air conditioning at home using frozen water and its cooling properties, also does not differ in complexity.

To make the device you will need:

  • several plastic bottles with frozen liquid;
  • a piece of plumbing plastic pipe (with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle);
  • fan;
  • hot glue.

Production Instruction:

  1. Put a few plastic bottles of frozen water inside the pipe.
  2. Attach a fan to one end of the plastic pipe using hot melt adhesive.
  3. Turn on the fan.

The principle of operation of this device: a directed air flow passes through the gap between the bottles and the pipe walls. Such contact of air with cold objects greatly lowers its temperature.

Disadvantage: condensate is not provided, but if you make several holes at the bottom of the pipe, this will not be a problem.

Important! Do not direct the construction towards a person, especially in the summer heat, as this is unsafe for health.

Schemes of portable (portable) air conditioners

Such climate devices will be a real salvation for people who are attached to their workplace: office workers, gamers.

Container, ice and cooler

The principle of this small air conditioner is the same as that of previous models. Its main advantage is compactness, ease of use and direction of action.

In order to make an air conditioner with your own hands, you will need:

  • 1.5-2 liter plastic container (for storing food and non-food products.);
  • cooler (from the computer power supply);
  • corrugated plastic siphon;
  • stationery knife;
  • glue gun.

Step-by-step assembly instructions:

  1. Make a hole in the container lid - a little smaller than the fan.
  2. Using a glue gun, stick the cooler into the lid so that it draws air into the container.
  3. Make a hole at the other end of the lid with a clerical knife (this is a hole for a corrugated siphon).
  4. Cut 25-35 cm from the corrugated sanitary siphon.
  5. Glue this section into the cover with a gun.
  6. Pour ice into the container.
  7. Close the cover.
  8. Turn on the fan.

Your portable air conditioner is ready. Turn a section of the siphon and direct cold air anywhere in the room.

Air conditioning from an old refrigerator

If you have an old refrigeration unit, then it will perfectly serve as a means for air freshening in the room. In practice - this is a real air conditioning. The principle of operation is based on the transfer of heat by freon from the evaporator to the condenser.

To make a device you will need:

  • 2 fans;
  • plastic pipe;
  • jigsaw (with a file for metal);
  • polyurethane foam.

Step-by-step instructions for manufacturing:

  1. Drill a fan hole in the door.
  2. Install a fan in the freezer door that blows air in.
  3. Make a second hole to let out the cooled air.
  4. Insert a plastic pipe into this hole.
  5. Carefully seal the cracks with mounting foam.
  6. Install a second fan pointing towards the condenser - for better heat dissipation.
  7. Plug in the fridge and fans, and you can cool the room.

Important! Not only air conditioning can be made from an old refrigerator.Want to know how else you can use it? We reviewed this topic in our review. "Old refrigerator".

Car radiator cooler

In order to make an air conditioner with your own hands from a car radiator, you will need:

  • radiator (preferably from domestic cars);
  • a fan (you can buy it with a radiator in an auto parts store);
  • plastic clamps;
  • rubber hose;
  • sealant;
  • case from a computer power supply;
  • terry towel (as a tray).

Production Instruction:

  1. Mount the radiator on the back of the case.
  2. Install a fan on the front of the chassis.
  3. The air flow should move from the radiator to the fan.
  4. Install rubber hoses on the pipes extending from the radiator, attach them with clamps.
  5. Water is supplied through one hose. Connect it to a cold water tap. Another hose serves as a means for water outlet.
  6. Place the entire structure on a towel.

Important! Central to this system is the speed at which water will pass through the radiator and the speed of the fan motor. The cooling rate of a room depends on all this.

The advantages of this device is the lack of condensation.

Disadvantages:

  • the radiator must be connected to the mains through a 12 V adapter, which must be purchased separately or used from an old computer power supply;
  • laborious manufacturing method;
  • if the apartment is equipped with water meters, then such an air conditioner will cost a little.
