New water Block designer

GTABurnout · 02-26-2008, 08:13 AM

Excuse the noob questions but I think I have a special set up I am trying to do.

First off have any one delt with using a cooled glycol medium, by cooled I mean 10 degrees C. I have access to a water chiller that can do this no problem. concerns then become condensation and efficency.

Can anyone give any advice on block desing for some thing to prevent this from happening? I have CNC acess ect so all will be desinged in Solidworks.

Lets hear some ideas.

Thanks

What waterblock you use will have little to no effect on condensation. Whatever part of your system gets to a temperature that is below the dew point will have condensation form on it.

Pretty much any water block you choose will do. And at 10*c you aren't going to have any problems with the fluid freezing or thickening. As for condensation, that will be a problem. You'll have to insulate the motherboard.

I pretty much have gotten that far.

Looks like a sepertant design will be the choice dure to heave pressure drope from fin style. Issues that I am running in to now are that the depth oif the cold block is limited to .322" so this needs to be compressed. This is not going in to a computer. it will be used with TEC's to cool a CCD for a camera.
