Great to see!

I'd imagine that the little amount of water in the air will mostly condense on the evaporator.



edit: how thorough of an insulation job did you give the socket area?

And finally, the myth of condensation, does it exsist?

Well, for your tests inside your house you are ok for the moment. But dew point is entirely calculable and very real.

Just by bluesticker around socket surface and pressing evap "armaflex circle" tightly against it.

Hmm, what's your point?

It is a moot point as you don't appear to be having condensation problems anyway but you might be interested in using molecular sieves (it is granular like small gravel. I can get it easily here in UK.) instead of silica gel so long as you can pass the air through the stuff with a fan it will remove more water than silica gel and get you as near as 0% humidity.

it is said that due to the composition of air it is impossible to achieve 0% Rh you will always have between 1% - 3% Rh. Only gas purging gets 0% Rh.

that unit was nice. how much did it cost to build.

Yes of course i can't never reach 0% Rh in chamber with gel bags, but currently amount "water",inside chamber is so small that i highly doubt it can create damage to hardware.

WTF, why do so many people take great pride in destorying and messing with bits of art work and pure skilled work. Peter made it do the job and everything and now look at it! Yuck, sorry man

Destroying? Mainly visible changes are side plates from metal to plastic plates + visible silicon doors. But anyway this wasn't "open the box & use" cooler, than rather most SS/Cascades are. Yes of course i could see lot of effort make everything nice, but due i needed to open fridge several times -> add silicon again and again, you are not always so excited to do it nice & clean.

[trance565]

should put a shrader valve on the fridge next time, see if it holds vacuum without the silicon that and you can vacuum and purge

You said your unqualified comments like condensation in the fridge arrangement doesn't exist. People don't build this type of setup because you are just asking for trouble. It's working for you at the moment - but with conditions attached (like, country, time of year, household air-con etc etc)

Those conditions hasn't nothing do with this system due it is sealed.

I would purge the fridge with anything like: argon, nitrogen, co2... Just to be 100% sure.
