Evap Tower Questions
 

What are your experiences, like benefits, designs, etc. with an Evaporative Cooling Tower?

I'm new in this type of system, just made one from a design made by Steve from Overclockers.com.

Be it also watercooling, just 3 months using h2o for my PC.
So I really could not compare what's the difference w/ a radiator, Evap Tower, etc.

Somone said that it's useless when using it on a humid place, I'm in Asia where its humid. So is it really useless?

Thanks :)

if you are in a very very humid place, then i don not suggest evap cooling.

if you use large cooling towers :D you could get the water under ambien by 1degree or maybe 2

Here is our project, it could help

newbie to evap towers: what are the advantages?

as said before, one of the most seen example of evaporative cooling is that without any load at all you can actually go under ambient temp and with some load on the system, you are a few degrees above ambient. It is more efficient than a rad when used in a low humid place IMO.

Disadvantages: You need to keep filling the system with water since water evaporates :rolleyes:
also you need some kind of filtering of the water if you are going to use tap water because the remains, deposits etc can clog your showerheads :mad:

As I sit here the relitive humidity is 70%, and my evaporative cooling water temp is less than 1 degree above ambient (which is 21 degrees) this is cooling a T-bred 2100+@2.4gig, 1.9v.

In the warmer asian climates the evaporative cooling is still going to be superior to rad based cooling, even if the humidity is high, it's actually the colder climates that have rad based cooling coming closer to the performance of evaporative cooling, since the colder water has less of a tendency to evaporate.

ie when my ambient temps are higher like 27 degrees, the same evap setup(water temp) is 3-4 degrees below ambient.

Hooking up a PC to a Houses Evap Cooler
 

Has anyone who has thought of cooling their PC this way and who has an Evaporative Cooling System on the house (or next to the House as the case may be) thought of hooking up to that with quick disconnects, So that in the Winter time It can be converted to running off a smaller system and or just have the smaller system running off a constant flow of tap water (Regulated by Water Level)?

zoom314 why don't you try to reach 400 FSB w/ ur Samsung333.;)
I always do that w/ 8-3-3-2.5 memory timings @ 2.77VDimm:) :)

My company is thinking about installing 9 evaporative cooler units like breezair ones around a manufaturing factory. The concern we have is if the humidity provided by the units is going to be a big matter for manufaturing lines and the operators as well.

The breezair supplier of course is telling that it does not matter.
this sort of device have been provided from australia for example where you have high temperature and low humidity level but it is completely different in UK so would it work fine?

Thanks for helping me ASAP on this question.

How many PCs are you cooling?
