Would it be possible to make a cooling system With only a Pump, cpu water block and Some tubbing passing trough a container with Dry Ice inside ???

Ya I don't see why but you would be spending a lot of money buying dry ice all the time.

dry ice is not liquid: you would have to use dry ice to cool the liquid, there would be lots of problems setting it up. somethine similar to a beer chiller maybe?

ThaWaxShop

yeah dry ice only lasts a couple days. My company ships medication with it and the shelf life is 3 days. Plus wouldnt you run the risk of freezing the water. Dry ice is like -79c

TylerBello

Yes its possible. Its the same concept as a water chiller,no the water doesnt freeze as an antifreeze is used as the additive.

Its easier though just to make a straight chiller(AC system,submerge Evap in water,use evap water as reservoir)

Dry Ice + Water = a bomb
did you even think about venting the Co2 gas that would be created? Your RES would become a bomb in a couple of seconds.
Very bad idea. And you would have to spend like $100 bucks on dry ice a day to get that thing running. And another thing, the coolant would freeze, and antifreeze has to freeze at some point ( -200F I think).

TylerBello

Well,the coolant wouldnt freeze. The water is not going to get to -200f,ever.Thats -93c.And,the Dice wouldnt be in the water,it would simply be cooling the water,below it,cooling its container assumably(even though its still a useless idea in the world of chillers.)


Oh yeah,and dry ice is cheap,10 pounds,5 bucks.(not 200)

antifreeze freezes at like -40

and yes, it would be a bomb. don't do this.

pbasil1

ok anit freeze still freezes... just not at the temps it is usually used at, dry ice will freeze antifreeze...

You could use Acetone, their is a chemical reaction in which the CO2 reacts, causing the acetone to get super cold, like -80 C. Acetone never freezes either. One problem with a pump is that the oil inside may start to solidify due to the extreme cold. You would also need to insulate all the tubing to keep it cold. I would just suggest buying or making your own pot to house the dry ice, pumping it through a loop isn't as efficient.
