Dears, :welcome:
I'm kind of giving up thermoelectric cooling for my extrem cooling project (they draw to much power and turn out to be kind of bulky on the end). I built a water cooling TEC system.
So my idea is to change and start looking for small compressors. I gave a look around the forum and found 2 options from this manufacturers:
- Aspen (1.3lbs - www.aspensystems.com/minicompressor.html)
- Mitsubishi (6.6lbs - seems that Thermaltake is using one like this - http://www.tweaktown.com/news/9137/index.html) - but this one here from Thermltake is much smaller than the Mitsubishi smallest rotary compressor (I guess that this compressor in the picture above is 2.5" wide and 4" tall, so should weight less than 4lbs).
- Embraco (no idea, seems to be very small and mostly for notebooks, but.... http://www.legitreviews.com/article/567/1/)
- "Little Kim" (Star882 - It was intended for servers and runs on 370v DC, and weighs about 10lbs)
They seem to be rotary compressors....
But... seems that the first is very expensive and the second/third hard to find. :rofl:
I need compressors with cooling capacities similiar to the small aspen compressor. The one from Thermaltake seems perfect... any idea when they will be selling their system ?
Are there any other options ? Someone knows where I could find them ? Anyone selling one of those or similar ones ? :shrug:
