could i remove the pump from a freezer to make a fhase shift cooler?

J.Harris

Do you mean, phase change? I guess shifting is the same thing. But no, freezers are ment to keep cool things cool, not cool a hot object, just like a refirgerator. Freezer pumps aren't ment to run 24/7, the pump will die relatively quick.

It's a lot more complicated than that. I'll let one of the phase experts reply.

No.

A freezer can not handle the load form a PC.

You'll get this response a lot from hereon.

I think you can use an air conditioner, though. You can pick one up for ~$100 at Wal-Mart. May be hard to find one in the winter, though...

You'd still have to do quite a bit of modifications though and likely have to upgrade the compressor (I think)

A window air conditioner is perfect for a water chiller though.

I think you're a little confused there.

A fridge/freezer won't work because it's cooling system is not designed for constant, high heat loads. But that's a system design issue, not a compressor size issue.

Without knowing the specs of the compressor it's pretty hard to tell whether it will work for phase change.

To the OP:
Try asking your question on the Xtreme Systems forum, in the Vapor Phase Change Cooling section. You'll need the manufacturer and model for the compressor. Someone there will know.

ohh heck no. 3.4btu=1watt. a 5000btu aircon is about 1,470watts of cooling power. that should be more then enough to handle a quad core system with 2x 4870x2's at far below room temps. I can not give you exact temps though. its going to be cold thats all you need to know :P

Please read up on some of the guides I've seen here, you have a few people whom know they're material.
A fridge can handle a load constantly, just not a CPU load, not built for that. It could be modified for that though, with little work, just not powerful enough to really pull low temperatures.
As for a window air conditioner, they've got a lot of power, almost too much sometimes, but can fairly easily converted over.
