add on to water?

poptart · 04-13-07, 12:19 AM

Anyone seen this type of minor "extreme" cooling where you run either an iced block around, or insie, a resevior, or run your tubing through a ice water bath? I did a down and dirty test with only a few inches of tubing in icewater, not frozen, no specials.. droped my temp a few c, just below ambient.

I was thinking about creating a long loop to cool about 15 inches of my tubing each direction to attempt 3-6 c below ambient. The advantages are it is cheap to make ice, and I can avoid risk of peltier use in case. thanks for any pointers or links..

Add just double distilled water.... NOTHING else....

Hello, Not in the loop, OUTSIDE the tubing! I am using a non conductive without any waater system. I am talking aboutthe use of a not in the loop cooling system by which we are able to further lower the temp.

well if you put the tubing in a bucket full with ice then fill it with water and add salt you should get some decent tempatures

(salt lowers the tempature at which water freezes allowing for colder tempatures, water helps conduct to the tubing)

in order to get the best results you should make a coil of copper tubing in the bucket

wrap tubing in a 5 gallon pail and let it all freeze over a couple days in a deep freezer, Oh and mix some salt into the water, this way you'll have 5 gallons of salt water ice as a heat absorber lol (I used to make a certain fluid that made every one happy and thats how I condenced it

)

thanks, great ideas

I have a good idea. instead of just standard copper tubing, why not submerge an entire radiator in a block of ice? No fan of course.

thats what i was going to ask

but put the rad in the water and then freeze it (with salt of course!)

Thin wall copper in the radiator, subjected to the pressure exerted by expanding water as it freezes= busted radiator.

well then just have it reeaalllllyyyy cold

Ya, use antifreeze or something that has a lower freezing point then water so you get the effect of ice without the whole radiator going boom thing.

Denatured alcohol with distilled water (% depends on the temperature) would be the easiest (and cheapest) to get ahold of for the performance.
Denatured alcohol is sold in the paint section (most likely) of hardware stores.
