Project: FROZEN NIPPLES

[fatty]

Not so true you can get lower with a diferent hx design look at wet weekend we could go 2.2 phil said he got lower so???????

I`m surprised you didnt pre-emtive that one and add anti-freeze before you started.... coz, really, you knew it was gonna happen Admit it.

What kind of temps do you think you`ll end up with?

 

[fatty]

Ok got some anti freez time for nipple action

The hell with condensation it freezes looool

look at the block

http://gallery.greatestjournal.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1872315

the antifreez is still holding strong at -13.5 so far

 

[fatty]

Well I am going to insulate the old girl but it is not for the faint hearted this unit will need a LOT of condensation proofing to use I am going to insulate and test at 210W to see what temps she hold but you would be looking around zero or subzero degrees C so the bidding begins

 

[hardw1re]

i suggest u put pcb laquer on the parts. mask up contact pins with masking tape. be superb against condensation. + makes verything glossy

The cylender has now been changed out for a peice of 2" waterpipe with the evap coil sealed inside

Thats better - I bet you've got more space now too.

 

[fatty]

Yes I have the tube can sit on top of the mach condenser (rad) at the front

 

[fatty]

Ok pics of the res and its not finnished yet I still need to insulate and tidy and decide what to stick it in

 

[fatty]

after 45 mins of running with a 210W heatload stuck to it

Its now been an hour near enough and the temp is still dropping 7.3 degrees no condensation on the tube

 

[fatty]

Will it ever stop looool after 1 1/2 hours

 

[fatty]

and it kept going to -0.6 looool

 

[PHILIP1193]

and now it runs half inch tubing right?

phil

 

[fatty]

Well thats all i have lol but the res has 10mm or 3/8 barbs

 

[Master_G]

That's pretty damn cool, and once you insulate your temps will be better as well.

Has the unit just got its stock charge or are you going to recharge for a higher capacity?

[fatty]

Well most people dont like condensation and fan noise so its only got R134a in it but could stick 507 in it to make it colder

 

[Master_G]

Are you going to change the charge level of the r134a to give the unit more capacity so you can put more heat into it?

I've always thought with chillers that capacity tends to be more important than getting really low temps, because if you go too low then it will all freeze when it is idling no matter what you put in it and will give you massive condensation issues, and if you are putting CPU(s) and GPU(s) then that totallys quite a bit of heat so you want it to be able to handle that.

[fatty]

Mate have you not seen I am using a 210W heatload to test the unit 210W that is quite a lot of heat phils unit would hold that heatload at 18-20 degrees this will hold it at -0.6 degrees???

 

[Alanore]

Thats awsome, looks like the heat exchanger is far better than the tubing wrapped around the tank. Have you got any improvments for the project in the pipeline?

I would love to see a GT on the processor and that cooling the NB and graphic/s card.

Anyway hats off to you, thats one special project!
