Ice Cream Maker - Overclock.net

Ok, so recently as you may or may not know, I have been looking into a commercial phase change unit. Despite my searching i couldn't find one that would handle the heat load of an overclocked quad core. I decided to go for a water setup with a chiller, the chiller will be an ice cream maker.

That is the unit itself, This is the compressor.

I don't know if this helps but it is a Necchi brand, i understand there company went out of business a couple years back. It uses R134A coolant. 1.8FLA (what does that mean?) and 20LRA(dont know what that is either). So my question is what kind of preformance would i be getting with this thing? I ran it with a 250 degree load (my snowboard waxing iron) for a couple hours and it did fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried embedding the photos but it didn't work.

Because I became curious, I did some research and learned that FLA means Full Load Amperes, and LRA means Locked Rotor Amperage. So yeah, that's what it means.

oh thanks, whenever i searched that it would just come up with different products. If you know anything about Necchi compressors it would be awesome if you could share that. I have heard that there controllers explode/light on fire. I like that the evap coil is already in the shape of a circle which would be great for my reservoir.

Oh, I cheated and used Google.

Thanks, can anyone answer my question about the compressor?

Around 1/8hp 2cc or so. Maybe a bit less, but in that range.
Really not that much, for liquid chilling you might be able to handle 300W @ 10-20C, will definitly need a new evaporator and tuning as well.

thanks, at this point its just going to be a quick and dirty setup.
