Ok,
So I have been playing with the idea of building a submersion PC for a while now trying to figure out the best route.
I have an idea but I am not sure how well it will work, theoretically I think it will rock from the little bit I know but I need some second opinions.
Anyway, here goes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I wan't to submerge a PC in FC-72 due to its 56 degree boiling point.
2. I would then put some high pressure waterpumps in the system and pump the FC-72 into submerged components with waterblocks still on them but with no return line since the computer is already submerged.
3. The FC-72 would vaporize when pumped through a hot GPU/CPU waterblock and the gasses would be released into the cooler liquid surrounding the components. The expansion would pull a great amount of heat from the components due to a phase transition.
4. The surrounding liquid would cool the vapor FC-72, as well as the extra space in the container would act as an expansion chamber.
5. Could add a refrigerated line to the case to further promote cooling (FC-72 doesn't turn into jello untill -90C so its perfectly safe).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So thats as far as I have gotten so far, any help would be appreciated, trying to build an almost completely self-sustaining supercooling system.
Thanks again everyone.
