[VHFcontesting] Digest, Vol 62, Issue 27.. water cooling (John D'Ausilio)

[James Irving]

Hi John...

Sounds like you have a good idea. Were you able to take any data on the temperatures before/after?  How are you planning on cooling the plate.. pump or thermal siphon?

Jim, K9JFK

rather the beer goes through an aluminum plate which has stainless
steel tubing embedded and is submerged in a box full of ice (or
refrigerated mechanically). Asking around, I managed to locate a
single-pass beer coldplate measuring approximately 10" x 15" and about
1.5 inches think (weighs 10# !). I dismounted a couple of my DL2AM
amps and test fit on the plate, and it appears that they fit just
fine. I might find a place to machine the top surface .. it's pretty
flat but not perfectly, though probably flat enough that with liberal
use of heat-conductive  paste I think they'd work fine.

Just curious if anyone else has tried this route ..
