Manfred, If you don't mind, could you briefly describe your cooling system? Is it tap water through the heatsink straight to the sewer or a closed loop? If the latter, could you please describe the c

The point here is that even 10 liters in a system with a small radiator and fan would be more than sufficient. Extend the hoses outside the shack and one has essentially noiseless cooling *and* remo

Regarding vapor phase cooling, I had to smile when I read Dick's suggestion to evacuate the cooling system to 1 PSIA, lowering the boiling point to 100F. Seems like this would change everything - at

What is the energy required for phase change? If it's too low you lose the benefit of the reduced boiling point. In addition, the vapors of both are explosive if you have a leak in the vicinity or a
