cryobath chiller

[Xenogias]

I want to get some input on this particular unit before going ahead and making the purchase. I would like to adapt
it to a liquid cooling system with or without TECs depending on which gets better temps (most likely without if it
works as well as it advertises). This would be used to cool cpu, gpu, and northbridge.

product link (http://www.thermo.com/eThermo/CDA/P...7-X-1-1,00.html)

according to various product information sheets it can remove 120w of heat and at -60C, 160w at -45 and 180 at
-20. It uses a dual cascading system and i'm not sure what kind of refrigerant. I was thinking of using that cold
finger (the external evap) in a small largish reservoir and upgrading my eheim 1250 to the 1060 (or whatever the
600gph model is) to keep the liquid moving fast enough. If you dont think its worth it let me know, Total cost would
probably be around 300-350 shipped freight and then another 20-30 to clean it up and clean or flush the compressors with new oil and refrigerant. What do you guys think? my other option is a prometeia for the cpu and continuing to use my water/TEC loop for the gpu and adding a water/tec block to the the NB. I just want to get some info from a bunch of people so you might see this post in other forums

Your link doesn't work.

apologies for that. here (http://www.thermo.com/eThermo/CDA/Products/Product_Detail/1,1075,1000001155170-107-X-1-1,00.html) it is working.

interesting.
with CC100, you would not need any peltiers.
CC25 or CB65 might be a viable solution costwise?

interesting.
with CC100, you would not need any peltiers. be careful, this might outrun a Prometia system (at a lower price?)
CC25 or CB65 might be a viable solution costwise? Do you know the cost of CC25 and CB65?

[Xenogias]

they usualy sell for over $2000 new, you need to email the company and ask them for a quote to give you a price. The CC-100 is about $4000 for one unit i think. Obviously, this is not a possibility. But used industrial suppliers (whre i am thinking about getting this from) have them very cheap. Sometimes they require a bit of work though to get back to spec. An example of this would be Sysfailur's cryofreezer that gets down to -37C with no load when the temp dial goes to -120C or something ridiculous. His looks liek a single compressor modules though and I imagine he intends to work on it to see if he can get it back to spec.

I still can't get that link to work. And I'd love to see this thing and read up on it, sounds very interesting.

sorry, i dont know whats up with that link.

I think my vbulletin code is messed up so I'll
just copy and paste the link:

That "cold finger" is the evaporator. I would stick that in a reservoir. It wouldnt even have to be that big. I was thinking one of those vertical reservoirs. wouldbe just the right size. Also I was considering the CC-65 because its compact size (only 40lbs as opposed to 130) and could be adapted into a case. I THINK i can get one of these from the same place. You can do a search forthe CC-65 on that site as well if you want to check its product stats.

I like some of those big ones... -70ºC at 250W of heat... yumm....

That would be ideal for supercooling multiple machines....
