LucifersMagician Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Hey i was just wondering i have 2 Co2 tanks laying around... is there anyway possible to get these tanks to cool my computer system like a Co2 cooling system of any form or anythign liek that? Please respond this is interesting=/ Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 As a full time cooling solution i dont think it would work but creating dry ice and cooling with it temporarily might work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogDog Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I was pondering this too, I have 3 Co2 tanks lying around, but I came to the same conclusion as cokeman. Let me guess you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucifersMagician Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 yea..sorta no but i was thinkning as just enuff straight shot of Co2 to enuff cool the CPU massivly or atleast long enuff to freeze it for a short emount of time... but we were experimenting on other things and we came to the conclusion that it turns to liquidy after a certaint amount...im just going to buy liquid cooling..

Is there any such dangers since moisture+PC components=bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_cow Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Wouldnt freezing it result in ice? and melting ice result in water? : / this has explosions written all over it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucifersMagician Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 not freezing...really just as a cooling supplement just wanted to test somethign new maybe we could create a system to shoot Co2 at it whenever it reaches a certaiunt temp causeing it to cool it very quickly and accurate...just worth a try but not techinically freezing...just a resulkt of cooling it a major drop or atlest 15C...hmmm Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Well if you noticed when dry ice melts or evaporated there's a lot of moisture that's being created.Where it comes from i have no idea but i agree sprayed onto the cpu wouldn't be a good idea. But there must be a way to send it running trough pipes like freon does How about if you connect it to an empty bottle (gas canister of course lol) send the gas trough a regulator then trough small pipes over what you want to cool then into the empty one. this could go on till the full one reaches the equal amount of pressure of the empty one (now half or something) or if the other one is vacuumed till the gas is completely transfered Edited December 5, 2005 by kobalt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 CO2 (carbon dioxide) is either a solid or a gas, it has no liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure At temperatures below −78 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 because it's a pressurised container... carbon dioxide in the outside world or sitting in a room is solid or a gas... it's only a liquid inside something basically...

ccokeman Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Like nrg said at atmosperic pressure(14.7 psi i think) co2 is either a gas or solid. Now put it into a high pressure container and at 69 psi ( -78c) it converts from a solid to a liquid. The higher the pressure the warmer the liquid then it becomes a gas.
