Don't have a chiller yet, just wondering about it and how to plan for it. I assume that a chiller's ability is related to how well it can shed heat itself. To have the unit outside is probably the easiest way to release that heat into the ambient air, much like how an A/C would do it. But I wonder if they need a special casing? I mean, you woudn't want rain and stuff to get on it. But then how does an A/C unit handle that?
I'm assuming you could probably get some honkin' L-brackets that attach to the foundation of the house, and somehow bolt the unit down to that.
Or is it better just to have the unit in the tank room, and just ventilate the unit really well?
