Ok, another of my beat to death topic, with a twist, questions. Yes, for a few thousand dollars one can install an erv/hrv system. I know this. However, when in somewhat extreme climates, or for those not wanting to go through the hassle, or unable to install a ventilation system (like in an condo), is there a smaller scale option? From my gear head days, I’m thinking of an intercooler for a turbo/supercharger. Has anyone diy’d a device to cool/heat the air in your skimmer line that was ran outside? Summers here get to 120 degrees occasionally, and over 110 degrees pretty much everyday through the summer. I would think it would be pretty simple to fab an air to air radiator of sorts on the cheap. Of course, a liquid to air, stainless or titanium version mounted in the sump would be much smaller and much more efficient, but also much more expensive. Just thinking out of the box here. It should be a zero maintenance device. Even a keg chiller, tube setup might work I’m thinking. I think you can get a 120’ stainless keg chiller coil for around $150. My fab days are over, so it’s not something I can tackle anymore.Thoughts?
