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
