Prometeia Mach 1 Mod - WORKLOG

[piotres]

Hi

That's won't be long begin . Situation is simple : one of benchtec's member ask me about modding his Prometeia Mach1 which he just bought, just to allow using it on newest CPUs - so need to hold big load and enclosure must be universal . Unit was near stock - side panels and front panel was resprayed in past to quite nice deep black color - nevertheless it'll be painted again (one side panel had had a dent, orginal that prommie was white) and it must have been regased in past . But seems like nobody clean dust from inside of unit throught its 7 years life (production date 2002 year) .


That is worklog and looks like updates won't be frequent because I have to make other unit first ...

Specs :

Compressor: Danfoss NL11F - stock from prommie, will be coat with fresh black paint (was bit rusted)
Evap: Steeper 40mm tall/42 mm diam., enclosure for all newest CPUs, 1.0 meter braided DN10 suction line (with
stainless steel mesh)
XV: captube 0.9 mm
Condensor: one stock from mach1 + added second one same as orginal so total 2 condensors will be used
Refrigerant : R507
Case : Stock Mach1 case with modded front panel and whole resprayed - skeleton powdercoated, side panels and
front panel resprayed on black
Others: Some 120/38mm fans, probalby custom electric ...



Big plus for owner for good packing for it's journey to mine workshop .





Suction line is funny short and stiff in stock mach 1 .







A lot of dust, dirt and ...rust inside case.





That result surprise me a bit - seems like somewhere must have been tiny leak of someone tune is for VERY small load . Of course that's without any load . Before that I had thought those prommie is still on stock R134a LOL . Stock Carel display from mach1 show error under -50c .



I found this later and I was sure that's not stock crimp and braze .









A bunch of electric wires ...





I have no idea what is orginal idea to use those verticaly walls on each one air inlet "wave" - I think only to prevent too big airflow inside case LOL .







Now much better .







That's only premier coat.



I had tried to save orginal sticker on NL11F but no luck .



More to come ..but I don't know when .
