First SS (56k die)

-Thrilla- · Sep 17, 2006

Building the first SS :toast:

Big condensor

I like

First time made the desuperheater too big lol, for condensor this size all I need is one loop to minimize the vibration.

Not good looking braze job, but sure is strong

The loop

Ya, it's rolling

Rotary

Playing with the gauges

Will be filling it up with R290 after modding another rotary to triple evac it and fill with nitro/co2 mix. That's when school starts lol XD

-Thrilla- · Sep 17, 2006

Dynaflow is the stuff!! It fills so easily, melts so easily, and flows so easily, wowow. With brass it takes me a minute to braze, with dynaflow it takes me 20 seconds to do a perfect braze

Low and high side, all it's missing is the evap which I can only make when school starts

OMFG no leaks!!!

-Thrilla- · Sep 17, 2006

Had plenty of time today, so I took out the modded coredless drill....

Drilled lots of holes, etc, etc. Do I win the ghetto awards now? I didn't have a soldering iron, so I heated up a big nail with propane and went from there, hey, it works!

But it paid off:

-Thrilla- · Sep 17, 2006

Electrical works part one:

Need to cut a hole on the cover to mount the switch, then bolt the enclosure on the plywood base.

-Thrilla- · Sep 17, 2006

School is back so is the shop, so I'm back online again :gun_bandana:

The milling machine

Finding the right spot and milling

2 layers done

Milling bits aparte

This is the base of the cap in cap evaporator, each layer is for each cap so they don't move around during brazing.

looks sick man. keep us updated!

WTF?? You built an air conditioner. What are you going to do with it?

infrared · Sep 18, 2006

Wow, very neat work, keep up the good work

He is building an SS - Single stage. Single stage = phase change system to cool your CPU (or GPU or Chipset or whatever). Temperatures should be in the -50C range.

Look at a Vapochill if you have never seen anything like this before.

What type of evap will you be using (I'm guessing you'll go for a stepper?)? Also, are you going to have any control unit (Golden Froster)? Oh yeah, and methinks you have overdone it with the desuperheater... for aesthetics, I would have used larger diameter loops, and fewer of them... but each to his own I guess

As long as it cools well

Looks good so far.

That is what I figured he was going to do with it, but I wasn't sure. It seems like a solid design, but what are you going to do with the condensation? Also, what kind of heatsink are you going to be using to hook all of this up.

-Thrilla- · Sep 18, 2006

Cap in cap milling finally finished, brazing soon
(this is the evap where things get cold)

i_am_mustang_man · Sep 19, 2006

this is sweet stuff

xylomn · Sep 19, 2006

Keep it coming this is a great read

Dippyskoodlez · Sep 19, 2006

Nice to see you here D_O_S

Thrilla- nice job, tho I agree with D_O_S- that desuperheater is way overkill lol :laugh:

I also see you plan on using r290, so I cant wait to see these temps and on a cpu :toast:

O do think you could go for a better evap design though- possibly one with more surface area to evaporate the r290. though if a drill press is all you can use it may work well. :cool:

Also, what kind of heatsink are you going to be using to hook all of this up.

Dude, seriously. This is the heatsink. :roll:

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 4, 2006

Oh my gosh, quite possibly the coolest thing to cool a computer... I thought my heatsink was huge...

So this is an air conditioner that uses propaine to power itself, but the air goes to the heatsink part, which is the whole thing... got it

Nope.

The propane is the coolant, not teh fuel.

R290 is both a coolant (often used in camper fridges) AND a cooking fuel.

Not to mention tow motor fuel :laugh:

JC316 · Oct 4, 2006

Why not just use R22 freon? Should cool better than propane and be less dangerous to boot.

drade · Oct 4, 2006

Extremely nice! Im really liking the work your doing.

R22 sucks.(not to mention being phased out and reuires multiple permits to even reclaim the gas.) :laugh:

-15 to -20c tops. you can do -30 or colder in a properly setup system.

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 6, 2006

Nice, propane refrigirators are OLD! My folks have one tho. They love it!

Bet it works extremely well.. but I think they still use it.. especially in RV/campers tho

*cheaper and easier to handle(permits suck)* than R22.

strick94u · Oct 6, 2006

what an interesting setup but whynot just use a freezer for a case ?looks like it would have been cheaper

atomicpineapple · Oct 6, 2006

The freezer idea wont work, not enough heat removal capacity. A freezer is made to remove heat that seeps in past/through the insulation (no insulation is ever perfect), not to remove the seepage plus an extra 300 Watts of PC generated heat. Plus a freezer runs at what? -10 Deg C? which would give you CPU temps, of say, around 0 Deg C? Phase done well will get you -30 deg C or lower.

I was kidding what dork would ever do anything like that?

Man this is difficult lol, I had to make my own tools...
