into phase change cooling!!
Sometime early next week I will be the proud new owner of a vapochill classic.
The classic is built on the same compressor (danfoss bd50 I think) as the XE w/ the difference being the 404A and Chill Control V2 is on the XE. I intend charging mine w/ 404, don't think I'll need the V2 chill control.
Depending on clearance, I'm going to add a couple 92 or 120mm blowholes over the compressor area to deal with the added heat the 404 will bring to the danfoss as well as some fans at the top rear of the cooling system area.
I know normally its better to exhaust from the top, but with the power supply being right below the rear vent, and the condenser and fan in the front, would it not be better to force air in the top and then out thru the front and rear of the system in this case?
Also, I was wondering which power supply any of you vapo users are running. After this layout, I wont have enough dough to grab a pc power 510w or enermax right away, as my pelt system is going to need a solid PSU. I've heard pretty good things about the super flower units, and seen positive reviews, but would like some more opinions. Can any one give a yay or nay on these units?
I do have an extra meanwell 320 that I could put in, but that would kill the possibility of pelting another machine. I suppose I could always get another one down the road.
Definately appreciate all your input!
