OMG so ncie now when can i buy it

That is a fairly poor way of exchanging the heat from the water and the mach unit i have to say, most people put the coil on the inside of a large ice chest, then you can get WAY below 2C, the thermal transfer is far more efficient and it will be able to handle load (i dont think that design could handle much as the heat transfer is so poor)
Check out XS forums for some amazing heat exchangers and great ideas on water chilling.
Sorry if this seems harsh but compared to what is around that is pretty amateur, with a bit or thinking and work you could improve the temps a hell of a lot.

Yes I know I do frequent those forums as well it was a test run lol I have a lot more ideas up my sleeve the reason I mounted the coil on the outside was because or corosion but I have been pointed in the direction of a liquid that will go subzero and is non conductive
Oh yeah also would like to see your efforts too

My efforts, lol, trust me if i could afford and had the time to play around with phase change rather than just buy units then i would, but i can only absorb knowledge at the moment rather than convert it into hardware.
What liquid are you going to use? A mixture or something nice and dangerous like methanol
What corrosion are you going to get, is the container aluminium? Was it just water in that test?
I never meant to say i was better than you or anything, i know you are very good with phase change and have a lot of skill, it seemed a bit ghetto for you given what i have seen of yours on here already.
What blocks are you going to put on it in the end? Or is it all just a test for a future idea?

Realy I was just bored and decided to have a look at an idea, the unit I built for Phil had the same heat exchanger steup with the coil on the outside of the exchanger although that had been prebuilt
The liquid was just going to be the danger den stuff well to begin with like I said I was bored and wanted to play I am still toying with mounting ideas etc
Lucky I dont show all my ghetto projects lol but thats normaly how most of it starts out

Interesting mate well spent some time yesterday redesigning the heat exchanger It is now a lot smaller and will fit horizontal across the top of the condenser rad at the front of the mach2 it is smaller capacity but the coil is now fitted inside a copper tube copper hmmmm
Anywho just vaccing it out then I will test run it

Hit a little setback frozen water does not flow lol yes running away lovely until it hits 1 to 2 degrees then the temps started to climb and I hear all sorts of crackeling it was ice forming on the inside and outside of the tube then I noticed the pump was running but no water was flowing the hx had frozen solid lol I need additives this baby is subzero

fatty I don't know if this will help at all but water is at it's densest at 4 degrees centigrade so that's going to be the lowest temps you can get without those additives!
