Subject: OT: Darkroom temperature control.
Other than keeping the entire darkroom at 68 degrees or below
does anyone have any ideas as to how to keep developer, etc.
at the correct temp?
Unfortunately the tap water here runs 70-74 degrees at its
coldest in summer.
I'd actually like to be able to run at 65 degrees to keep
developement times long and controllable.
My only thought is a large container of water in the fridge
that could be circulated around the bottles and tank.
Get a water cooler.
Or......
If you are inclined, and like to bugger around with stuff, you can make a
cooling unit by running a copper cooling coil through an ordinary
refrigerator. You drill a couple of holes in the side of the fridge and put
a cooling coil in there. Hook it up to your cold water supply on one end and
a faucet on the other, then seal the holes with silicone to keep the cold in
as much as possible.
If you need a large temperature drop, put in a larger coil.
