dehumidifier

Voodoo_fx · Apr 24, 2003

Hey, quick question, i would like to make a phase change cooler out of the unit, not a chiller. I am not sure about how dificult or expensive it would be but am looking for some expertise on the matter. Difficulty isn't much of a problem or time just if it can be done or not and how costly it is and what kind of temps i would get?

Thanks,

nick

yes you can convert a dehumidifier into a direct die chiller but you will need to make a evaporator that will go on the cpu, cut the evap that was on the dehumidifier off, stick the block in its place and vacuum/recharge the unit again. Making a chiller would be much easyer because you wouldnt have to cut anything and all you have to do is stick the evaporator in a bucket of fluid. Also then you could cool your gpu, chipset and cpu also with the chiller.

would a dehumidifier be powerful enough to be used in direct die? i would just stick with it being a chiller if you have the water cooling stuff or get a real compressor if you want to direct die.

naw it would work just fine, I cant imagine it being any smaller than a vapochill compressor. The weaker the compressor the higher temps will be though.

what are we looking at in terms of price?

what do you mean? if you have the dehumidifier already and want to make a chiller than you just need a icechest or something for the resavoir.

i was wondering about the cost of the regridgerent and what not? I was more interested in turning my waterblock into an evaporator itself. Its a micro-fin design that i made at the local cnc shop.
