culinary tech: Chiller
We turned the chiller around to see the condition of its screen guard in the back that protects the condenser. A thikc layer of dust has already solidified, giving me a hint of what it's like inside. The ambient temperature in that space is too warm to my liking, so i determined that something must be blocking the airflow. After dismantling the cover, it was apparent that the condenser, shaped like a small car radiator, was covered in a thick layer of grime. Later on I found out that the gunk is about an inch thick. With a steel brush, I scraped off the gunk along the grooves of the condenser.
After cleaning the filter with soap and water, and replacing the cover, we plugged in the chiller. Now we are monitoring the temperature to see if it helped.
