As it stands now.
I got 2 Radio Shack 13.8V 15amp Power Supplies. I hooked them up in series to get 27.6V at 15amp. That is powering my die sim heater cartridge. The heater cartridge is 40VDC 150watt 10.7ohms. That means with those power supplies in series I am getting approx 71watts of power to the die sim. I got the Cole Parmer Thermometer hooked up for water in and water out. It is a nice unit with very rapid pickup on the temp changes. If I turn my rad fan on it instantly picks up the changes. I have the CF633 unit taking temps from the die sim. The Die sim has a 10mm x 10mm die area (100mm sq.). It is currently only insulated by electrical tape. I have the HydroThruster500 plumbed in. I got a 120mm fan at 120Cfm on the rad.
What to do:
1) Get a good DMM with voltage and amp readings.
2) Insulate die sim (probably make a whole new one actually).
3) Get a better flow meter. The one I got is ok but I would like a magnetic one.
4) Figure out how to take pressure measurements, buy the equipment and install it.
5) Get a better valve for adjusting flow. I got a standard gate valve now that actually works fine but I think a good needle valve would be better.
