Splitting Prometeia Mach 2
 
Has anyone ever attempted/heard of/thought about splitting the capillary tube of a Mach 2 Vapor Cooling system? I would like to cool dual processors, maybe not to -50 C but cool both of them. How easy would it be to split it. Would it be extremely hard and not worth it?

Extremely hard. You'll need to (safely/legally ?) remove the refrigerant from the system, braze in a new capillary-tube/evaporator/suction-tube, then evacuate and recharge.

Unless you already have most of the necessary tools, it'll be cheaper to have a professional shop do it (if you can find one that will) or even buy a second Prometeia.

Yeah. From the diagrams, it's like a tube within a tube, and I don't know why they did that, but it would be a pain to put a little splitter into a bigger splitter. Oh well.

They do that for neatness and as a heat-exchanger. The cold refrigerant vapor in the suction tube flows over capillary tube, cooling the liquid refrigerant within, improving performance.
