i already did, so blitzed minds must think alike. i was going to flip the fridge over to get max floor space (the 'ceiling' is flat). i could put a substantial amount of hardware where the compressor used to be; i was thinking either a charcoal filter could go in there, but i also have lots of surface mount space on the inside of the door. if i could get a cool tube in there, i'd put the squirrel cage fan right there, as well as the HPS ballast.
i have a lot of 5 gallon buckets and i can make a large enough reservoir to buffer nutrient concentrations and pH, basically i'm hoping the fridge walls and magnetic seal will keep the odour in.
The current pollitically correct refrigerant is r-134a, which isn't ozone depleting. it makes the garage smell like old fridge, but it evaporates really quickly. i just folded the copper pipes down and hammered them shut to stop the refrigerant from escaping. The compressor contains a really nice, permanently oiled vacuum pump in there for some other project i the future, but i tossed it in the skip. there's lots of fridges to choose from where i'm at, and hardly any of them have dead bodies in them.
Yea thats funny..I was gonna say crimp the lines before u cutum, but some people would have no idea what I was talkin bout...and I have to admit, It made me laugh at the image of someone cutting in and getting a face full of gas haha..
"tossed it in the skip"....never heard that before.... its "pitched in the bush" round here...lol
