Looking at Eleven's evap design closely I can see what you mean.
I've always liked that milled design, and it leaves a lot of room for surface area that it's difficult to produce on a stepper or spiral.
I'd like to see it with a 2-3mm base, and taller fins, that are 1.5mm thin. More of them too.
It's normally all down to the cutters available though, and the quality of the mill. I think that extending the fins, and thinning them out, would produce the best balance of mass and surface area. I've always thought that mass was more important, but as long as there is enough to keep a certain amount of heat storage (or the lack of it
) then the rest is up to a good surface area.
It's part of what makes @itor's evap so special.
I'm starting to build a collection of evaps again, and if I can get ahold of Eleven's (whether new or old rev.) and some others, I can take the data from previous builds using NL11F and similar tuning, and make up some graphs on the various heads.
I've been wanting to do that for ages, but it's finding time between builds to get the info properly charted. It's not easy when you're busy
But Hipro, if you'd be willing to help me find out how much and when I'd be able to buy one of Eleven's evaps for testing that would be really great
I've finally put together a nice fully variable power supply and load tester, the PSU can supply up to 1200 watts and I just need to build a 200 to 400w tester for it. I've got a good test block up to 300w, but if I push it too hard it'll just break so I want to make another for higher loads.
