Goliath Triple Cooling System

lol agreed. i like your mindset delacroixp.
hey are you french?

[delacroixp]

are you french ?

My mom is Belgian, my dad was Polish and I was born and raised in South Africa ... so I guess that would be a no !

Even the name is not genuinely French since my Dad took on a more French persona after WW II.
Many French Huguenots settled in the then Cape Colony during the 1600's ... giving South Africa a certain French flavour and a sympathy for all things French.
I guess it was a natural way to go since my mom and dad already communicated with each other in French. They originally spoke to us in French but that gradually faded away after going to English schools.

It's all good !

oh alright. Well i guess thats pretty cool. I wish my family was so rich in background.

Its time for another update. I finally finished the controls for the low temp systems and they work great! It took a long time to make everything function as planned...but the end results was worth it. Now I will start with the case and water cooling system for the harddrives. Hopefully, this will not take as long to complete as the low temp systems. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

good to see the project is not stopped, really good case, congratulations for such a nice job!

Gobsmacked!!

This is just insane. You really need to have lots of resources, tools/machines and skill to do this kind of stuff. It's an industrial grade big ass motherin chiller (sorry but i just had to use these words, anything else would be just humiliating for such piece of machinery). Can't wait to see some high end equipemenet hooked on to it.

What sort of controllers you using?

What sort of controllers you using?

I'm using a Minco controller which has 8 RTD inputs and 4 relay inputs. Zone 1 is controlling the liquid chiller compressor, condenser fans and monitoring temps of liquid in the loop. Zone 2 is controlling the cooling chamber compressor, condenser fans and monitoring temps inside the chamber. Both systems will independently shut down and start up at the desired temps programmed into the controller. I'm also monitoring temps at the CPU and both GPU blocks. The controller will constantly cycle through all zones and will display temps for each zone. You may noticed the ( blue gauge ) below the controller... this is for monitoring the vacuum and air pressure inside the chamber.

Absolutely friggin' awesome!

Very nice work. Can really appreciate the sheet metal work and attention to detail. I work with stainless and mild steel for the most part and I really do like the work you've done. Such work always puts a smile on my face.

Sweeper i don't know how you're doing it but its still freaking awsome!!!
what kind of classes did u take to know how to do all of this stuff?
i mean have u been an electrician/plumber/artist/all of the above in the past?

Thanks for the compliment. Most of my skills came from the work I do in state and federal construction. I help build high security prisons and federal buildings. I have seen alot and learned alot over the years. The company I work for installs all the security devices and electronics for the facilities. I learned most of my refrigeration skills from reading and experimenting after I fully understand the process. I've also gotten help from the experienced builders on this forum. XS is the best place for getting information to build phase exchangers and water chillers.

My advice to anyone wanting to get into this kind of extreme building...read everything you can before starting a project and make sure you have planned everything out from start to end. Most of all, have patience... accomplishment don't come easy!

The color coded cable-ties really work for me .

I work for Johnson Controls and we dabble in that as well... currently just won a bid to do the HVAC controls and equipment for a new "Juvenile Justice Center."

Ah, so the refrigerant flow is metered not only by the temperature of the suction, but the pressure of the suction side. Don't see how that would make much difference than the more simple TXV... must've been a bored HVAC/R engineer that designed that...

Internaly equalized TXVs are used on evaps with low back pressure (2 to 3psig) an externaly equalized one is used for a evap with a high back pressure, this ensures that the true SH is detected and refrigerant is properly metered into the system.

Progress update. The case for the power supply, fan controls, floppy drive, DVD drive, harddrives and water cooling loop is almost complete. I had to modify the case by cutting it down 1 1/4" shorter to fit in the Goliath case. I think it turned out well, but it will be a little cramped to work in.

This is easily the sickest build I've ever seen. You have mad skills... DAMN!

[OdinEidolon]

wicked build! i wonder which temps you'll be able to reach.

[pheonix991]

Wow, that is amazing.

[Sweeper]

sweep question where you putting cd drives ?

ithinks you gonna need a membrane for the case to keep out the room air in chamber

The CD drives will be in the case outside the cooling chamber. The wires from the power supply will run through a insulated wire loom into the cooling chamber to power the mobo and GPU's. Once the chamber is sealed, it will be air tight.

What are u going to water cool?

[OdinEidolon]

its more ice-cool lol.
impressive work , you can even use it as a fridge maybe!
