I was discussing building an AC chiller with a guy at work and he's trying to tell me it's going to dump a lot of heat into the room because the heat generated by the compressor has to go somewhere. Now, I've never heard of anyone complaining about their phase change system making their room hot, but I really don't know much about it. Does your phase change system heat up your room?

get a 400W electric heater
should take ~ 10min to come to an understanding cool 'factor' or cool room temp, but not both mine are larger sure, but always outside the house (when I worked at home) or in an equipment room on the other side of a wall (noise too eh ?) |

So it would heat a room pretty well, eh? That sucks. I suppose I could make an exhaust duct to go out the window though. I wonder why no one mentions this.
400W....roughly how much does the average overclocked system put out in heat I wonder? |

what % of your psu are you using ? at what % efficiency ?
add your CRT |

Definitely need to duct some of the heat away, even if you can't duct the compressor heat, then at least the condensor heat, otherwise a small room will get rather toasty fairly quickly. |

Shouldn't the CPU and GPU heat (and possibly NB heat if I get a block for it) no longer be an issue as the heat would be dumped into the chilled coolant instead of into the room as with a radiator? I was wondering about the heat output of an average overclocked system (though I suppose there isn't an average overclocked system) so I could draw a comparison in heat output.
I figured the only heat source would be the compressor and condensor and PSU (and monitor of course). The compressor and condensor should put off the same amount of heat regardless of how much heat the CPU and other parts put into the coolant, right? What makes the Vapochill and Prometia's different from a small AC compressor? Should I be looking at something other than AC units for a chiller? |

I was joking about the LCD though it is very nice. 16ms response time so it's not too bad, but I'll wait for the 8ms screens to come out and get a 12ms screen for cheap (sort of).
So the temperature of the coolant affects the temperature of the condensor and compressor? I don't quite understand how that's possible. The compressor works at a constant rate, so heat output should be constant, right? The evaporator in the reservoir cools the antifreeze/alcohol mixture and the CPU and GPU dump heat into the coolant. So the coolant temperature fluctuates sure, eventually reaches equilibrium, but why should the heat output into ambient air variate? |

Thats significant heat, but not all that much compared to whats comeing from the box + monitor combo. Probably about the same as upgradeing to a dual processor machine. |

Do you have any links? I'm curious what they use. Though 250w for the entire unit sounds like a 1/3 HP compressor + some for the condensor fan but I'm just guessing. |
