sparkling springs water chiller for cooler

extremly cool · May 30, 2003

hey i modified a water chiller and made it a cpu chiller that is both quiet and has 1/2 inch fittings and renforced hose 1/2 inch also
but i was wondering if i will get any condensation at the water block which is a maze 3 from danger den

this is my first

Wicked Klown · May 31, 2003

Yes you might end up with condensation. Best bet is to take care of it now before it does happen.

how would i do that

Wicked Klown · May 31, 2003

Get Closed Cell Neoprene and wrap the black with itand around the zif socket.

Shoul have a HP rating on it

WELCOME TO TEH FORUMS!!

Good article on stopping condensation BTW

it says 1ph 115v 60hz LRA 4.5

big compressor! lol

bet it'll be able to keep the CPU nice and chilly willy. heh i made a rhyme!

so either get your CPU puttin out enough heat to keep it above ambient (that'll be alot of heat!) or just insulate really good.

PHEW!!! yeah thats a very nice compressor! good find

How can you guys tell its a big compressor? What is the LRA rating? I've never heard of it.

peace.

He said its 1 HP. THATS a big compressor.

Prometia usese 1/12 HP compressor and most people who use waterchillers use 1/2 HP. Hope its not too loud!

Warlord2 · May 31, 2003

heh 1ph is not 1hp. 1ph means its a one phase wich means it takes 110v AC.

LRA of 4.5 means its prolly close to a 500btu compressor wich is too small to keep up with a heatload off a cpu. Direct die it might work but the temps would be high.

aenigma · May 31, 2003

No, that is a pretty damn small compressor.He said it is 1PH aka 1 phase.An LRA of 4.5 amps is very low.4.5 seems smaller than most mini fridges even.But hey might as well give it a shot.

AHHH!

My lysdexia kicking in!

I actually did read it as 1hp... :-/

UnLoadeD · Jun 1, 2003

I thought they were reading phase as horsepower. So LRA is amps? Thanx for clearing it up for me.

peace.

LRA is locked rotor amps.Not a good way to tell compressor size, but it is okay for a guess.

Welcome to the forums extremly cool!

www.mcmastercarr.com also stocks neoprene in many shapes and sizes.

Konnan10101 · Jun 2, 2003

hey i just got a pretty big ac compressor and i was wondering what kind of hp it was putting out cause it doesn tsay on the side

here are the specs-
volts - 230/208
phaze - 1
refrigerant - r22
cooling btu - 18000/17500
hz- 60
lra - 43.3

and those are all the specs i coudl find on the compressor any body got any good guesses as to hp and weather or not it will make a good water chiller or will i have to run diy

Warlord2 · Jun 2, 2003

thats a big compressor, over 1hp. You would be best off making a chiller with it. Also that will draw some major current, it needs to be run off a 220v line so make sure you have one close by.
