Heat Exchanger Conversion to Water Tank

[prae]

Any one had any experience at converting their sea water heat exchanger for the refrigeration to one that resides in the water tank">fresh water tank?
I want to eliminate my technautics heat exchanger and make a new heat exchanger coil that would sit inside my 60 gallon water tank. This removes the salt water issues; makes it available for use on the hard; and the technautics doesn't come with a zinc and I'm worried about the internal tubes/coil.
I have a Global 12 technautics engine driven compressor with 12v technautics danfoss compressors for the frig and freezer. Dual system holding plates and only have to use the engine compressor once every 4-5 days in the tropics to draw down the temperature when the 12v system can't keep up.

I haven't any experience. But I do remember a long thread about it a couple of years ago if you run a search on the site youshould find it.

i seriously considered this, but since i don't have a watermaker, i wondered what would happen as the water in the tank was consumed.

do you have a watermaker??

If you have a tank that is never going to get emptied, then that tank is surplus to requirements! Regards, Richard.
