Building a loaddummy

Snowman89 · 09-21-2009, 10:41 AM

Finally ive started on my ss. But now i need to make a loaddummy. I have a 62x62mm tec specced for 320w at 15.4v

Could i make it into a dummy? Or would it simply be easier to get a cartridge heater? Another problem im having is i cant find any cartridge heaters here in sweden, are there no resellers here? :S

Would be happy if i could use my tec but im open for suggestions. The evap has a diam of 42mm.

If you read a more here the argument with tecs was short lived. In short no you can't and using cartridge heaters is the only way

Would this do it?

The shortest i could find. Then just simply drill it into a copper/alu piece?

Edit: Seems like they dont ship to sweden because i can only pick denmark when i create a account there. You also have to have a company to buy from them

Sweden has RS components. Since I can't read the language you will need to search for trade counters. You can do a cash sale at trade counters (I've used RS in New Zealand for many years)

Ah great

I just rememberd the next problem... Its hard and very expensive to find copper/alu in sweden.. I was "offerd" a piece that was 100mm high and a diam of 65mm for about 100euro..
