Condenser Fan Upgrade on The Sharp Minisplit AC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This is what I've been doing mostly during quarantine; I make stuff that either I don't really need out of things I scrapped, or most people don't even think about making.
Here's the 2nd(and probably won't be the last) condenser fan upgrade I've done on this AC unit. I just can't stop trying to maximize the efficiency of the refrigeration system. The condenser fan motor that came with this unit( • Sharp Condensing Unit ... ) was far too slow to my liking. I went back to the guy that sold me this unit to swap the original 500 RPM motor to a 990 RPM motor. The 990 RPM motor brought the lowest evaporator temp record from 19°C to 15°C. Add the water sprayers into the equation, and they got the evap to about 12°C.
With the big beefy motor, the evaporator low temp record thing has plunged to 4°C. The air coming out of the indoor unit feels substantially colder compared to when the outdoor unit was still coping with the snail paced 500 RPM motor. Now, the 2 speed National condenser fan motor I put on can deal with a load much heavier than the metal blades currently mounted on it(this motor(and CKE grille) was once used for the window fan in my shop. The blade I had on there was 18 inches in diameter, with 4 deeply pitched blades( • My Workshop's Ventilat... )). So if I can source a deeper pitched fan blade that can fit in the unit, I might be able to get the evap temprature to go below 0°C.
I could almost see the day when I jam in an industrial 12 bladed 3 phase axial drum fan in there. So stay tune for more dumb(well maybe not) upgrades on my AC. I'm planning on making a heatpump for my fan room too so... yeah I think it's safe to say that I'm a fan, & aircon guy now.

The shape of the blades is very interesting
It is interesting. Reminds me of old Dayton exhaust fans from America
That is another level of modifying an AC
Indeed it is
A very high-efficiency outdoor unit...
Noice
Right on 👍
i like how you used a cke exaust fan grid for the condenser part of this air conditioner
That's a pretty cool modification.
Thankyou!
Nice modification 👍👍 Reminds me of those condensors that are using metal blade Torin branded fan blades, which most of the time will make the indoor unit temp colder than usual, such as Carrier, McQuay/York/Acson commercial line of air conditioner.
Thanks! I honestly prefer the look of condensing units that use metal bladed fans. They just look more industrial-y & strong somehow
Basically, normal Air Conditioner's indoor air outlet temperature is 10°C - 20°C
But you made a very Awesome Modification on your Air Conditioner that makes the Indoor unit's air outlet temperature colder. And if the indoor temperature reaches below 0°C, your room will might be like a freezer because it's very cold...
With the original fan, the air coming out of the indoor unit was 22°C on average. With this new hack job, the air coming out is around 17°C. It's still a low power AC though, there's no way it could get the air temprature in my room to go below 19°C without changing the outdoor unit to a bigger capacity one.
I also saw this fan in Philippines around Colon, cebu but the condenser is a 2003 Koppel Aircon and it has a 1997 Asahi Industrial Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan Grilles
Interesting
This device is very good! I am Brazilian!
Thankyou, & hello from Indonesia!
Really sharp blade
I did not watch your video in random. I LITERALLY searched condenser ulit 😂
Its hell here in Manila right now very hot 🥵 For me "aircon" means "i want freezing temp" ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Suggestion: Place hard ice on the water pan. Not ice cubes it melts easily - but hard ice by placing water in plastic ice bag fill it to the brim and place it in the ref
Man, I hope it gets cooler soon up there. Actually placing raw ice in a tub of water won’t make much of a difference than placing the ice in a bag before putting it in the water. If anything you’re wasting a bit of energy by placing a barrier/insulator between the ice & water.
congratulations! you have now made your room into a walk in freezer
Hahaha we're not quite there yet, but I think if the plan to add a heatpump in my room ever materialize, I can get sub zero temps. Not that I want it though lol
You said an upgrade with a 46 watt fan. Use the OEM motor…6 watts was the design, otherwise you have a different problem. Also the first 46 watt fan was a counterclockwise rotation, hardly a good swap for a clockwise fan blade..
As far as power is concerned, nothing went above what’s rated for the unit. Fan blade rotation doesn’t really affect airflow performance as long as the motor’s rotation is correct for the particular bladeset installed. I have since stripped out all the modifications done to this unit & returned it back to original
also you might wanna find a more weather sheilded area for that switch as I dont think it will survive the monsoon season you guys have. maybe if you want to go full fancy mode then how about a temp controlled switch which will change the speed of the fan and turn on the water
That's what I've been thinking about. It'll be great if the unit can switch the motor power levels by itself according to the time of day, outdoor temprature, and indoor unit settings. But covering the switch with a plastic bag will do for now.
@@TheFanUniverse arent there relays that come with units that have 2 speed fans?
Yes, or circuitboards, depending on the unit type. But when I bought this 2 speed condenser fan, it just came with the motor, bracket, and fan blade.
I like the cke grile
It does look kinda nice mounted on there.
@@TheFanUniverse yup
@@TheFanUniverse dam boi that's fast
@@TheFanUniverse and yep
It is way faster than the original fan
Kencang Amat, Ac Lain Kalah, Masuk Jari Auto Masuk RS😂
Hahahaha emang top markotop ini AC
Bahaya wkwkwkwkwk
Yang ada malah masuk RS 🤣🤣🤣
Nice! That subcooling will probably be a lot higher! (In a good range of course) correct me if I’m wrong, I’m still learning
In retrospect, I think it's actually getting into the bad zone as there is too much cooling happening on the condensor
@@TheFanUniverse oh, I’m sorry for going too far. Anyway it’s a nice modification
I don't know which country are u from but you are a legend and this is lit
Thankyou very much for the kind words! I am from Indonesia.
@@TheFanUniverse it's ok I'm muslim
Okay
@@TheFanUniverse so see you soon. Rsp legend
kalau mau air buangan dari indoor unit langsung ke pipa paralon yang sudah di lubang - lubang, jadi tidak perlu ditambah pompa air serta instalasnya jadi simple
Bisa juga begitu
@@TheFanUniverse kalaupun mau pakai pompa air mini maka sumber listriknya diambil dari terminal kabel listrik outdoor unit jadi saat outdoor unit on maka pompa air mini juga on sebab satu aliran listrik dari indoor unit jadi tidak perlu dipasang switch on - off
👍👍
Inovasi yang luar biasa 👏😁
Terima kasih 🙏
Like this fall
Great video
Thanks man!
Ac lain kalah, Masukin jari yang ada malah masuk RS 🤣🤣🤣
Haha
Betul itu 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
Why is there water running over the coils?
I had ideas for a double zone air cooler back then, and used this unit as my test mule of sorts. Because this outdoor unit doesn't generate that much heat, the condenser acts a bit like an evaporative pad
You are my spirit animal
Ok...
Kok Front Ac Guardnya Cke? Emangnya Ada?
Jala pelindung depan bawaan AC ini tidak muat dipasangkan ke kipas baru yg aku pasang. Itulah kenapa pelindung depannya aku ganti pakai pelindung depan dari exhaust CKE.
Very nice video
Thanks!
Tulisan baling baling nya
The brand is sharp or cke?
Mantap.lebih kencang ya anginnya:v
Jauh lebih kencang daripada angin kipas bawaannya
It's very cool👍
Thanks!
Blew blew noice
Mhm
5:17 turn on
Mhm
THE TEMPERATURE FAN AIR IN HOUSE IN THE OUTDOOR YOUR ROOM IS HOT
Does this air conditioner have a temperature of 10 celsius or less than 20 celsius?
The lowest temprature I've recorded from the air outlet of the indoor unit is around 9°C
@@TheFanUniverse Thank you for telling me....😁
is cke minisplit ac fan
on your house
Apa airnya ga mempercepat korosi si kondensor?
Kalau komponen² besinya tidak dilapisi cat anti karat, airnya bisa mempercepat korosi. Koil kondensor di AC tsb dibuat dari aluminium setahu saya, air tdk akan membuat dia berkarat. Komponen² besi juga sudah sy cat
@@TheFanUniverse itu kondensor nya tembaga kan?
Pipa koilnya sendiri aluminum, tapi U bend, & pipa² lainnya yg ke kompressor dibuat dari tembaga
This and Panasonic LG DAIKIN
idenya sangat bagus 👏
Where did you get that fan
Motor fannya diganti bang?
Betul.
Cool
Thanks
Why is the AC like that? How come the propeller is like an AC carrier and a saijo Denki?[The saijo Denki air conditioner is an air conditioner made in Thailand]
This unit is modified, read the description.
Kompresor masih berfungsi kah bang? Kreatif si ini
Masih. Semua komponen dari AC ini masih berfungsi. Hanya kipas outdoornya saja yg saya ganti.
@@TheFanUniverse mantap bang
Outdoor ac jenis apa itu saya gak pernah melihat
Awalnya ini unit outdoor Sharp biasa. Bentuknya bisa aneh seperti ini krn sudah saya modifikasi.
Oh terimakasih
Here is SHARP not CKE
CKE and sharp
8:47 Kena Baling-baling
can u balance them?
The blades are a bit off balance, but as far as I'm concerned, it won't lead to damage on other parts of the unit. That said, yes I will balance the blades one day.
@@TheFanUniverse ok :) how many scrap fan blades can u make?
Increase space between ODU and wall
Maybe sometime in the future if the bracket needs replacing
Ini SHARPCKE
Bisa dibilang begitu haha
This looks like custom built ac
CKE tulisan nya
2:50 Itu cairan merah di belakang apa ya ?
Oh, itu air. Tankinya saja yg warnanya merah.
@@TheFanUniverse Oh kukira D*rah
