New EK stuff, res DDC top, DDC top

[Petra]

What program was used for this analysis? Thanks.

My guess would be COSMOSFloWorks as a component of SolidWorks, no?

[Walternowi]

wow that water analysis is awesome, but what if we want the cyclone

The cyclone is not that bad. It gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling that my DDC2 is alive and kicking

Its a niche waiting, I agree.
I'd like to see a screw thread material combo that gave more feel. I think a lot of users don't know when their screws hit 'finger tight' with the current non see through tops. With 40 years experience it was still a challenge to me that I met by generously under tightening. Never the less they passed leak testing.

Eddy i hate you Just bought a Petras Top

Yeah, I think I still have a tendency to overtighten myself...can't help it..

Oh my freaking gawd. Does Eddy basically creates everything (That makes sense) that ppls ask for! If so, that is just amazing. Really, those looks awesome. That Top\Res combo thing looks kick@ss!

Im talking about a real top, cmon!


Id easily part with $30 for a delrin top for my D5, even if there was no performance gain. Some of us want to make the switch to 3/8 tubing, and with the D5 its just not possible, 1/2 is hard enough to squeeze on those barbs!

[Cupcake]

Yeah I would swap tops just to get decent barbs lol, the stock ones on the D5 are so crappy

[Eddy_EK]

Yes! Holy crap that would make life easier

[disruptfam]

nice.... looks like ek is hitting the wc market hard and strong

With all this new gear coming out...

[Digital Nirvana]

Yes! Holy crap that would make life easier

agreed!

[Jimmer411]

Yes! Holy crap that would make life easier

No one hears our cries, even tho its one of the most popular pumps nowadays


I am liking all the new EK stuff being released lately

[Jedda]

Eddy,
Is there any performance difference between the G3/8 port DDC top and the G1/4 version?

[Cyprio]

What DDC versions are your tops suitable for Eddy?

Ummmm... Last I knew all DDC pumps had the same housings, so they all could use the same top.

Taken from Petra's blurb on their top:

"The DDCT-01s represents a minor revision of our original DDCT-01 design, providing compatibility with the newer, blue impellered Laing DDC-3 series of pumps that are currently available in Europe. In addition to expanded compatibility, the DDCT-01s also provides slightly improved performance, with slightly reduced power consumption."

[el rolio]

So which is better, Petra's top or EK top... hmm....
Already have a Petra's top so I'm sticking with it

same here! i was quite happy to have the first petra's top, so i am keeping it! yeaaa

i might have to make 2 systems to rock Ek's top tho. oh and HI PETRA!

That blurb was put there partially because I had to make a slight design modification to make the top compatible with the smaller impeller inlet eye that Laing switched to with the DDC-3 series pumps. Remember, my original top was built around the DDC-2 pump (which had a larger inlet eye). At this point, because Laing discontinued the older pumps, I'd hope that everyone would be designing for the DDC-3 series (in which case, compatibility shouldn't be an issue).

Honestly, though, I'm kinda hoping that Eddy's top gives me a good, solid reason to redesign mine... because I'm pretty certain that I can get more out of these great little pumps and nothing breeds innovation like a little competition.

Hi el rolio!

Hi el rolio!

I was rather selfish in asking as i have 2 ddc Ultras sitting here.

yes, i like how that sounds. you two go at it for a year, and while you are at it, see if you can get liang to improve their pumps too. i want NO sound whatsoever from the pump once i put on your tops. SILENCE! and then when i finally get a job (end of 2008 at the earliest) we can see the fruits of the innovations.

ahhhh, sounds great!
