Very nice evaps Dimas

[Tonic]

hey... is the 'Chelm' in ur location a jewish joke? or is there really a place in poland called chelm??

i know some good chelm stories :P

Yes, in Poland there's a town called a Chełm

[Dimas]

Very nice evaps Dimas

thanks, i hope to let it work in a week

[Malachia]

thanks, i hope to let it work in a week

also i hope

looking good Dimas, nice work.

lol, thats funny

is there people there?

Why are most evaps so tall? The liquid can only phase change when in contact with the base plate and to a less extent fins, so does all that hieght really do anything?

In waterblocks all the significant heat transfer is with ~1-2 cm of the CPU core because thermal resistance, and I doubt evaporators are much different since they're made of the same copper. Is the idea to get the gas away from the base plate?

[Revv23]

i am no expert but it is my understanding that with an evap you want as much space for the liquid to evaporate as possible, as the more liquid that evaporates, the more heat is taken away, and when you run out of room LxW, you start going up.

Wow nice evaps in this Thread.
This is my selfmade Evaporator which I built on daddy´s lathe

[chilly1]

Want to build a simple evap? Dimentions as stated use a coarse thread tap for the inside surface..

THis is evap is licesensed to teh members to use at will. No commercial use permitted. THX.

[Revv23]

hmm im having trouble understanding that chilly

[smurfmods]

Seems to me to be a block of copper with channels drilled through it. Use a tap and die set to make the jagged threads.

Something that has me is the part at the bottom. What are those?

[Revv23]

cap tube and a u shaped piece of copper to connect the channels? And then... you plug the hole in the top of the drawing maybe? so uhhh cap tube and suction line are from the side if i am guessing right?

[chilly1]

yes teh in and out are from the side. The holes are actually drilled and tapped for surface area and then either brass or copper is threaded into the holes and soldered in place. and for the suction a U tube can be drilled or 2 seperate fittings used.

[GoriLLakoS]

Can you pls draw the way that the freon goes in that evaporator?

[n00b 0f l337]

The freon gets in thru the bottom left U i beleive, or thru the right, suction being on opposite side. Check out the Freevap's... its getting interesting.

[eshbach]

here's an easy evap i made out of a maze4 water block and caps from home depot:

[matttheniceguy]

Here is the inside of my evap. Cap tube goes in the centre, suction where that chunk of pipe is sitting in the picture. It is made for upright mobo's.

[RaVeN155]

my friend made it for me, sth similar to chilly1 evap

[xooler]

My currently evap

Alright alright, I'm very new at this so please bear with me if I sound a wee bit n00bish. I have been doing EXTENSIVE reading on phase change and other methods of xtreme cooling, but I still have questions. I know what the evaporator does, but how it does it is a different story. You have the cap tube going into it, and then the suction line comming from it. I read earlier in this thread about putting the cap tube within the suction tube. Meaning that there is only one tube showing that goes to the evap? Also, I'm not sure how some of those evaps work. There are some really sexy looking ones, looks like people put some serious time and effort into these! I really like the look of xooler's evap, it is quite nice looking. Just wondering if someone could hook me up with some knowledge on the subject. Like I said, I'm a n00b at this so there is no such thing as telling me something that is benign. Any advice will be greatly appreciated and heeded.
Thanks

(I'm down with making this a sticky as well)

[gloatlizard]

probably also this would be simple to do with a press drill,you can have a serpentine in few time



after, you obliuvsly have to close its side

[gloatlizard]

ah,that was only an example of how you can use that simple way of drillin,perpenducular drilling in a ruoted copper block
