    chilly evap mod/new enclosure

    Here is a modification to the chilly evaporator that I used when using the new enclosure

    In order for the new chilly1 enclosure to be able to rotate and be fitted to the cpu socket with ease and without the cap tube getting in the way


    You need to get the cap tube as close as possible to the suction return or centre of the evap

    i did this by drilling a hole the diameter of the cap tube i was using around 3mm from the outer edge of the suction return hole on the evaporator

    Just deep enough so I could intersect it by drilling another hole at 90 degrees at around 2.5mm/3mm dia to allow the refrigerant to enter the evaporator

    Then taking the 3/8 copper tube to be used for the suction return
    And slightly crushing it to form a small flat around 50mm long for the cap tube
    To sit in

    Once the evap has been brazed and cleaned the cap tube can be soft soldered to the suction return along the flat to keep it nice and tight
