How many CFM do u have in your ss systems???

A simple question
How many CFM do u have in your ss systems??? ( I mean how many cfm are the fans you are using)

Those of you who don't use controllers and the flow is same all the time.

Im still building my unit at the moment, but im going to use a 78CFM fan :).

i think 2 120mm 70~100 CFM is enought, 1 for condensor and 1 @ case back removing compressor heat from the case, i use them

I use 2x 80 CFM in my builds and they work well. One on condensor and one pulling air from the case.

I'm actually going for a watercooled aproach hehe... both for the condensor (using a plate HX) and the compressor (custom-milling/manufacturing me some copper blocks that will fit around my rotary compressor now!) =)

Im lucky enough to have a waste-water cooling system allready going, so I can afford to dump all that heat away into the water. The second bonus is that I can then encase the SS totally in sound-dampening materials, not having to let sound leak out though fanholes. This coupeled with it being behind a wall from where I sit will makes it pretty much soundless despite it being a powerful 1hp rotary.

Il probably slap some pics up on the forums when I have those waterblocks done.

nice

In my systems I put one fan 120 cfm


question
when u use 2 fans of 50 cfm each, pactically how many cfm do u have?

If they both pull/push the air, you have ~100cfm of air moved though the case. But if you have one pushing and one pulling the air, you would have ~50cfm moved through the case.

Hope that answers your question.
