Obviously we all know how to approximately judge the various designs of a waterblocks. However I don't really know what makes a good evaporator in a phase change system. At first I thought it would be similar to a waterblock. However since a the compressor obviously has incrediable pressure developed, I don't think this is the case.

Most designs I've seen have actually been maze's very similar to my Maze2 Classic. Has anyone ever tried nozzels? How important is raw surface area?

I'm not even sure what makes a good block.
