Cooling project, need help

ralphoo · 09-17-2001, 06:37 PM

I need to cool air, moving at around 5000 liters per minute for 15 seconds to about 20C below ambient temp.

Can this be done? Whats the best approach, TE, liquid, what?

Where do you guys get those sweet radiators the fit in the case, the ones I've seen in oil coolers and such are larger, and flatter, and only 5 loops without another row behind.

How much power will it take to do something like that, accounting for the efficiency of an average cooling setup.

(I know you guys don't usually do stuff like this, but I figured you might know)

Your looking at a large house air conditioner unit...

Hmm... well as far as heatercores, you can check out www.heatercore4u.com . They have a large selection of stuff. To chill air... never tried. I think you just need a VERY good air conditioning unit.

How efficient is a multipass radiator like I saw in one of these posts (had a professional looking setup, i forget the name). How many watts are dissipated? at moderate airflow rates.

What you describe is a large air conditioner. A TEC or indoor bong won't even come close.

I assume you already have the coolant chilled and the radiater is to cool the air? Then I try for a heatcore like the BigMama. Just make sure you match metals with whatever your air conditioner uses . . .

BTW, whats this for?
