Water Pump for Cooling Shirt

I don't know about how anybody else does it but I made my cooling shirt set-up out of a small water jug with a screw on top, drilled holes near the top for the suction and return lines and then used a pump I bought off of Ebay which was a Shurflo SLV10-AA41 and is a 1.0GPM 40PSI, 12V 4Amp. My wife made the shirt out of a regular work shirt and sowed about 30 feet of 1/4" tubing into the inside of it, front and back. I have a pair of quick connects inline also. Ice in the jug, a couple of inches of water and a switch on the dash. Sometimes I have to turn it off because it can get too cold at times, even in the heat.
I had to insulate the water lines between the pump and the shirt to keep them from dripping condensation. Works well.
Just saying.

 

I work with Mike Bell and he wears a cool shirt from Speedway motors. It uses a can of freon to cool the shirt. Pop on a new can push the button instant cool. He gets rid of the can before they fire the car. It is maybe $200.00 and he buys the cans by the case. Works awsome.

 

the freon sounds good but 134 r is around 14.00 per can do you use a can per pass?Dave

 

Usually a can per run, but well worth it and no mess with water, hoses, pumps, not including the extra weight in the car.

 

badfast, Were does Mike Bell get the cans of freon? I checked at cool shirts but there cost is 13 bucks a can, there must be a place to get them for a lot less?

thanks again for all the great help!!!

I can't recall where he orders from. I'll try calling him later as he is busy getting the car ready for Tulsa this weekend. I know I will be using the shirt this weekend!lol

 

thanks a ton!!!!

 

He buys a case at a time from Stonersolutions.com. It is not on the website but they have a direct replacement can. They run $8.00/can with free Fedex shipping. 12/ case.

It will be the best $8.00 bucks u will spend when u tap that button.LOL
