[Amps] SS amps watercooling - was PowerGenius XL

[Roger (K8RI)]

Water is far easier to clean up, leaves less mess, and is more efficient 
at heat transfer.  The vapor phase cooling used in computer CPU cooling 
is efficient, but less tolerant of leaks, difficult to charge, and works 
at lower temps..

Vapor phase water cooling is very efficient (already covered by another 
poster) for tubes as vaporizing 1 gram (1 cc) of water uses 539 calories 
(at 100 C - too hot for SS), while heating or cooling water 1 deg C 
takes 1 calorie.
Vapor phase cooling has no moving parts except for a fan(s) at the radiator.
