H2O2 as a coolant? - Page 2

Cathar · 07-03-2003, 02:04 AM

Did a quick hunt on-line.

The only place I found selling D2O was a chemical company in Thailand selling D2O for roughly $110US for 100ml, or roughly $4200US per US gal.

Hmmm, cheap!

If you want a low temp liquid coolant get some CO2. Before you flame me saying CO2 doesn't exist as a liquid stop and listen. CO2 isn't a liquid at atmospheric pressure. But inside a gas cylinder like what they use for softdrinks it is a liquid. How much pressure are we talking here? About 70PSI. But if you can get your hands on and old soda fountain you could easily make a one shot vapor cooling rig. Just make sure to keep a window open because too much CO2 in a room will make you kinda light headed.

it is on the materials watch list that customs has... if you import it, I am pretty sure you will have some serious questions raised about "wtf" you are doing. it is more than a moderator also... with some refinement it makes a splended dry thermonuclear fuel in a gas state

Yeah use it as a coolant. Then afterwords you can work on that old tokamak fusion reactor in the basement

Whoah! This makes me want to flame you!

Damn! Got me with his words!

That's true. You're confusing me!

Really? Then why do they call it a gas cylinder, rather than a liquid cylinder?

Amazing! And I thought, at around that pressure, the gaseous carbon dioxide was merely dissolved in the liquid water.

Yay!

Hint: Don't ever say "don't flame me" or "stop and listen" when you're discussing chemistry in a forum full of chemists.

I'm sorry. I've only dealt with a few ChemEs in the past and I don't give them much credit. Add in the people who think flow decreases in a series loop and I figured I had to explain things as I would to a 12 year old.
