Swifttech MCW-6000 / 6002

I looked for a while and I found the same question in the "evap gallery" but it was dismissed rather quickly and there was only one opinion.

I have one laying around and I have spend much of my money on tools. I was wondering what anyone else though about using these as an evap.

Thanks,

Need to heat it up, rebraze it, or pressure test it to 300 psi.
Other then that, might have trouble with the tons of possible pathways.

What does the inside look like?

What does the inside look like?


About a hundred tiny copper pins.

Only one way to find out if it works.... braze it up, make sure it can take 300psi pressure then stick it on a phase system

Is it still available? I couldnt find it on the swiftnets homepage...

Now try to figure it as a 3d view. :)

i've heard it looks like the apogee on the inside, with diamond pins

The only thing I worry about is the liquid not making it to all regions of the evap and the liquid leaving it before a large % has boiled off... I had one tho at one time but didn;t have the tools necesary to pressure test it :(

[PhilippF]

Is it possible to open it and perhaps put a little wall between the two connectors? so you could direct flow a little bit and make sure the refrgerant boils off.

I was going to try one of those as an evap one time but a friend needed it for his water loop before I got around to using it. My plan was to braze shut one of the openings in it and make another opening for the cap tube as far away from the suction opening as possible to help get as much refrigerant boiled off as possible. I think it would work fairly well, especially for a system in a case where the suction outlet could be at the top and cap tube feed in at the bottom.

Personally I think it would be a waste of a very nice waterblock that is perfect for chilled liquid.
For the effort you would go to to make it work as an evap, it wouldn't be any harder to ghetto up an evap that would work much better.

I don't know. All those pin create alot of surface area. but yeah, probably would be alot of work.
