So many questions LOL
OK as far as evaps go I have not seen any data that shows these are engineered for any system. From teh early ones that are still used today made by Chilly1 we have no clue really on how he came up with that design.
Many use that evap because its cheap and easy to get. I am not trying to say it performs good or bad, I am just wondering why.
A huge number of different evaps out there are simply made by hand, the design looks good, they cut it and mount it on a machine and go either its good or bad.
Some of the really nice looking ones that I have seen, complex maze types look beautiful and some say they perform well, or its nice but very hard to keep liquid refrigerant in it. Things of that nature.
So builders use what they can get basically. Some building higher end units might use a different evap that a Chilly1, who knows.
There might very well be a manufactured load tester that tries to match how a CPU actually emits heat, I don't know. The load testers that we normally see builders use, and the one I am making now supply a heat load and call it a day. This works for what it is intended for, they are cheap to make and a need tool for a builder who is tuning his system so it can handle the loads of a CPU.
The final test is always on a CPU as that is the intended use for it.
The goal is to be able to see just what the heat output of a CPU is and I do have a few things coming that will show some very interesting results. I am not sure if actual CPU wattage is possible tho with what I can use here at home.
