Revage's phase ...black unit in glossy case

Revage, a member of XS.org forum has ordered a phase-change unit from me. Generally, He wants a value unit. There have been some propositions, first that was planned as a unit build on wooded board, but finally we deciced to build unit in metal case, use mine older evap, mine small, custom condensor and a compressor from Vapochill LS, so good-know Danfoss FR 8.5 CL . As a bonus, I've add a blue cold-cathode and green fan . Unit is charged with pure R507, it's unit tunned for heavy load, with 27*c ambient it has done -48*C unloaded, and it's able to hold 215 W heatload from resistors (dummyload) with -24*C .

Full specs :

Compressor: Danfoss FR 8.5CL (taken from Vapochill LS)
Evap: chilly1 clone, made in Poland, with black enclosure
XV: captube 0.8 mm, 270 cm
Condensor: custom made 165 x 140 x 60 mm , alu-cu, 0.312 kW, + SUNON 120 mm/38 mm fan (12 V power supply)
Refrigerant : R507
Case : Custom, metal case 49 x 21 x 23 cm, painted on glossy black
Others: Desuperheater, Tt Thunderblade green on the back of case, blue CCFL inside case



That's empty case (sorry for bad pic).











Tunning with 215 W dummyload .













Completed .



In 30*C room, it has done -38*C idle and -34*c stress with 3103 Mhz/1.78v A64 Venice .

Now, unit is in it's owner home, Revage has PM'ed me and said it's making -40*C evap loaded with Dothan M780 .

I hope Revage will be happy, with his new cooler .

Regards
Peter

your unit is very clean, the case inspire confidence ! Once again nice Job

I would like to know how have you fold the metal (Aluminium ?) to make this beautiful case

Thank you in advance for your answers

very good job piotres

That's steel case

I've ordered that case in place where mine friend's brother-in-law works ...they make various thinks from metal plates ..but that was only "naked" steel, looks like this :



And later I've must cut window, screw side panels by bolts, paint with premier, than with black lacquier ..that was around 20-25 hours of work .

It's sure that it's clearly more clean than a wood case (in my opinion), moreover we see less the "home-made" side and as I've mention above, it inspire more confidence for a potencial customer That can take time but the result is beautiful !
Sorry piotres but i don't have completly understood what mean "paint with premier" I'm trying to speak english but i'm not very bilingual

I'm very interested in making my own case but contrary to you it'll be with aluminium ( I don't have the necessary material to works steel plates ) which is more tender than steel Later I'll add windows like you, and undoubtedly "cold cathod" for my own systems ( I have somes projects )

You've given to me a good idea

I would like to know if you could sold case like this, and if it's possible how much it could cost with shipping That is just to know if it could be possible, I've always in idea to built my own case

I hope you'll all understand

couche de primer, de l'apret quoi enfin jsuppose

very good job, like you use to ^^

D'accord, je ne sais même pas c'que c'est en français donc ça touche pas en effet

very good job Peter

@luigi : de l'apprêt, c'est une "peinture" d'une couleur indifférente, adaptée au matériau que tu peins, que tu mets en une ou plusieurs couches, puis que tu ponces au papier de verre très fin, pour avoir un état de surface vraiment impeccable avant la peinture finale. comme ça la peinturre, ici de la laque noire brillante, adhère mieux et c'est du plus bel effet

D'accord merci Napalm, I have finally understood

Very nice lookin, as usual

Unbelievable, it's wonderful

Nice Job. The black effect is very sober and you used great material !
