[NoL]

Another project on the bench, a nice quiet and small phase cooler.

Goals?
Low cost (~$600 or less)
Subzero (Around -20C or lower) load on an i7 sized load (or more!)
Small footprint
Solid (steel base frame)
Decently quiet
Low power consumption (Sub 300W)
Upgradeable features (Full case, digital temperature display)

Specifications:
1/5hp Copeland r404a compressor
120mm Chilly1 Blue Condenser with 38mm fan (~100cfm)
18" Braided flex line (Extrable flex, without risk of tearing!)
Copper Spiral Evaporator and new Universal Mount
Full Insulation kit
Double H frame, solid steel, MIG welded, ground, then painted

Pictures up in a few

Desuperheater coil brazed, as well as the main suction entity.


Steel triple H frame it seems, to help suspend the condenser. Might end up switching to 3/4 or even 1/2" steel. This 1" is way over the top.


I call this a Harvey Dent shot, one face is cleaned, one face still oxidized.


The bend of this flexible line, a steel corrugated line under copper/brass alloy braid. Able to withstand lots of pressure and still flex well.
