Check out the instructables website:

Super Cheap and Easy Fog Chiller
A fog chiller cools down fog from a fog machine so that it stays low
to the ground. This one costs around $5-$10.
I had everything I needed already, you probably do also.

Also

The Ultimate budget ($) Fog Chiller

With only the absolute simplest of tools, and fewest of supplies, one
can construct a superior fog chiller.

The fog chillers currently on instructables are a variation of the
"fog on the rocks" design, but have a few shortcomings
that small changes can correct.

For less money we can construct a re-useable fog chiller that will
cool more fog, requires less ice, allows for more fog to be produced,
and is considerably easier to assemble.

If you're looking to build a fog chiller, this is the one you should
build.

I am not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I thought it
might be a good place to post the info.
