Need tiny pump

Veland · 05-15-03, 07:09 AM

So, I'm thinking of water cooling my Shuttle, keeping it all internal. There are plenty of obstacles in doing this, and finding a small enough pump is currently the most difficult part. I've looked at the two articles posted but didn't get that musch more info on the pumps there. The only small ones I've found are low quality shaft driven 12V pumps, I really want magdrive type pump.

So, have anyone discovered such a pump? Preferably available in Europe, but all suggestions are welcome!

..but it doesn't say anything about what type of pump it is or where you can get it. But as far as size goes, it just about perfect.

I've also tried to locate the pump used by Koolance since that's a fairly small type, but no luck so far..

Try a hobby/craft store. They sell small pumps for those table top fountains, should do what you've wanting.

peace.

looking for this? 12V pump
It's quite small but runs quite hot need to be cooled with a fan.
I found this off another forum.

look for mini-jet and micro-jet about 1/2 way down the page...

I don't know if size or flow rate is your biggest consideration but there are options out there.

check this pump out http://www.sysfx.net/cgi-bin/cart.ex...mps&sku=IL-120 It fits very well inside a shuttle case. You can find some small radiators on this site too that will fit in a shuttle.

Well, I've lookked at the Johnson, but it's a bit large. The two other pumps seem about right, but I've only found them as 120V and here in Norway we're running at 220..

Have anybody heard about pumps from C-AO? Or what about OASE Aquarius pumps? I got a small pump from the first manufacturer but I really doubt it's performance and lifespan..

What about the eheim compact series? Anyone seen those? in 300l/h, 600l/h and 900l/h. The smallest one is on it's way to me, but I haven't been able to find pics or measurements.. Hopefully it is small enough to fit..

Well, if anybody is still interested, I just got my Eheim Compact 300:

230V/5W
Hmax 0.5m
l/h 300

Dimensions: 50*42(55)*33
(height including output tube)

A size comparison would be two packets of matches stacked..

Well, then it's time to save money for a rad and block for my shuttle..
