New build.. Model: ZRK (Zalman Reserator Killer!)

had a similar idea, was pretty much shot down not to mention mine was aluminum....

If you use a home heating pump such as the Danfos you spoke of it is designed for use with 3/4" id piping over considerable lengths. Also what is the heat dump from that pump?

If silence is what you are after why not use a PA120.3 with an Iwaki MD-20RZ pump and (6) Yate Loons undervolted in a push/pull configuration using two shrouds? Or dual PA120.3s?

I`m no idiot.. :p: But belive me.. this thing is going to kick some serious butt..This is water cooling on a whole new level, progress still going on!

Guess there is a new triple post going on.. ;) So many pessimitic toghts, well, relax, don`t underestimate me..

Never said that you were.

If you have ever seen passive refrigeration cooling systems you would have noticed that they all are large plate type evaporators to allow for the massive amount of surface area needed to accomplish the task. A finned tube evap/condenser as you posted is designed for high cfm fans to make up for limited surface area.

And even in a high temp refrigeration system (such as R-22) the pressure drop through the evaporator is two to three psig. JMPO

I know that part well, it is designed for low air restriction and it is an evapourater for vending machines. It will work very well for you, but like others I think an MCP350 will work much beter on it not to mention the only way you'll know it is on is via the tach. Convection is your friend, ie pump distcharge goes to the top of coil that way the weit of the water as it cools will help drive it through the coil :)

I personaly have used fridge evaps for rads and albeit restrictive work wounderfully, I look forward to seeing how well it works.

PS: Wounderfull find, that style was and is common in many chilled vending machines that serve sandwiches and such.

I dont doubt you, but rather the usefulness of a condensor of that style in passive operation.

and the pump placement does not matter in a closed loop system. what goes up must come down...

Man I thought you had given up on the months ago...

Indeed... There are no hieght restrictions in a closed loop if system is full. Push and Pull...

i will keep my mouth shut till the results come in but my gutt is telling me it will flop like the PS3 will

well i gues its the waiting thats bugging most of us...
