Which Compressor?

Wiseguy2001 · 04-19-2001, 05:27 PM

Im thinking, of putting together a refrigeration system that can cool an Athlon system to about -50C.

The computer will generate just under 200 watts of heat. thats a lot and i'm not sure what type of compressor i will need to pull this off!

Any suggestions?

You could try a fridge repair shop.

These compressors look just the job for major cooling, dont know where you can buy them tho. :/

Frigomatic

Quite a range, including water cooled ones!

In most cases u CAN NOT use a refrigerator compressor they are designed to run in cycles NOT stay on all the time by the time it kicks bnack on ur processor may have burned up before the freon is cold again

make sure the compressor is made for continuous use and NOT cycles

I know not to use a small compressor (as used in fridges) am thinking one with a power of around 5000btu. this should b loads, and will mount this outside with the condenser coz i hate noise

What do u guys think? and where can i get one in the uk?
