liquid cooling with nitrogen???
 

hi folks,lately something came up my mind; maybe it'd done before but i havent heard.. Anyway, when you are using liquid cooling you use water eh? You cool it in radiator before it returns on cpu(or other components). What if you fill the container with liquid nitrogen??? The pump will circulate nitro and that'll make cpu freeze!! I assume that there can be a vaporation problem(nitro can vaporate huh?) but you can cover the container and seal it.. Or another possible drawback can be humidity in the case( there can be ice crystals on hoses(tubes) from which the nitro passes). What do you think????

not so simple so it seems :p

edit: and http://www.maximumoc.com/ln2.html and so on

no pump can handle luiquids at around -190 ° C.

Impossible. (except for very professional & expensive pupmps maybe)

I know both 2 experiments at given links. Additionally recently I found a experiment which some folks cool water of WC with nitro(they cool the wter wwith nitro,water is antifreezed). Anyway I mean pumping the nitro into the tubes and piotke answered that. But why not they handle??

there would also be too much pressure, so i've read on a forum when i did a search in google, an engineer wanted to emerge a pc in nitrogen, in a tank or so, but he said it would be extremely dangerous because, the slightest rupture due to the high pressure could cause an explosion by which his own an two houses nearby could blow up, some power :mad:

i dont understand,how do nitrogen make pressure? Once I red a article that one emerge a pc under a liquid which is cool as nitrogen and does not conduct electricity. So the pc worked under a liquid!!!

which hoses would you use?

I dont know much abt hoses and WCing. I just assumed :))

I think to keep things reallistic the closest thing to what you are asking about is waterchilling.

or homemade metal hoses :)

ln2 in liquid form is very explosive :)

???? It's definilty NOT explosive (as in a violent reation with oxygen)
It does tend to expand A LOT in volume as it evaporates. When contained in a closed loop, there will be a lot of pressure. That might lead to an explosion of the loop itself. But not of the LN2 itself.

drop a burning match in it and tell me your experience :)

nah, don't bother, I bet we'll hear all about it in the news anyway :D


In that extremeoverclocking link Tarantula gave, they say it takes 6000 PSI to keep it in a liquid form so be sure it doesn't take a match to make the neighbourhood go poof ;p

what ill happen is that the relative huge amount of energy from the match wil cause a lot of evaporation at once, Probably throwing LN2 across the room.
But that's not an explosion, it like flashboiling water from a microwave. It will not ignite (like throwing a match into a bottle of methanol)

But I'm willing to try both ;)

ok, just set up the camera at a safe distance, after all, we want to be able to see you become the human torch ;p
