Condenser Fans and temp monitoring

[oublie]

Hi Guys,

I notice that some use 12v standard computer fans on your condensers while others use 240v / 110v ac fans which is the most efficient cooling wise when noise is not an issue. for example i currently have a high cfm 120mm delta on one condeser - would i gain anything by switching to a high rpm /cfm larger 240v ac condenser fan? I know in the past that i improved efficiency by switching to a higher cfm delta fan but would like to try something more powerful.

The second query is that im mounting 3 single stagers in a new custom case im building (pics etc will come when complete) on is for cpu, one for gpu and a third is a chilled water loop for nb mosfet etc. The gpu one is a vapchill with the stock head if want to measure evap temps using the vapochill installed sense wire - anyone know what type of device this is i.e. is it just a standard k type probe that will connect to a fluke or is it something else - i need to buy an lcd with the right connectors so i can show temps on the front of the case - most of the vapochill hardware is missing so it runs directly from a 240v ac connection without all the usual vapochill relays fan control etc.

Thanks


Thanks.

To answer your first question.

I don't know precisely what thermo-resistor is used in the VapoLS, it isn't a k-type though. Someone else will surely know or if you search hard enough I know it's been mentioned here before but it could be very hard.

If you have ready supply of 12v in system, actually DC fans are more efficient typically. I like Sanyo Denki most of time as it has great property when pushing air through restriction in total volume moved as well as noise.
Vapochill LS uses NTC thermistor for it's controller. Reason it isn't reading accurate temp has more to do with how circuit interprets temperature more so than thermistor itself though -_-;

thanks guys i think ill stick with the deltas.

Jinu, I wanted to ask you if you have any details on using the Scythe fans on the Vapo LS condenser. I am speaking about the Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000RPM model, 120x38. How does it compare to the stock Panaflo M1A?
