I have recently found myself in possession of a chest freezer. So I was wondering if I could use it to store a reservoir that pumps a 60-66% propylene glycol anti-freeze (non-toxic anti freeze) through a radiator inside the greenhouse. I will have a fan on the radiator blowing air from the greenhouse over it to chill the greenhouse. Here is a diagram of what I am planning to do.
The only real downsides I could think of is this will condense the water vapor(humidity) from the greenhouse and possibly freeze it to the radiator, it will possibly kill plants if it falls on them when ruuning and in the off chance the radiator or tubing leaks. The upside is if I'm pumping -20*F coolant into the radiator, and a layer of ice forms on it, I'll have an ice cube.
So what are your takes on this system.
