Diy Dry Ice Cooled Computer
Recently for a school science fair project, I demonstrated heat transfer using a dry Ice ice-cooled computer. I worked on the dry Ice Cooling mechanism, and my teammate worked on the computer. Essentially what I did was I took a piece of copper pipe and soldered it onto a copper plate. Then I took apart an intel stock cooler and mounted it on it. I took insulation and made a sleeve for the cooler. I used acetone as a medium between the dry Ice and the cooler since acetone’s freezing point was lower than the temperature of the dry ice. Since I was worried the cooler could potentially produce copious amounts of condensation applied a thick coating of Vaseline to my teammate’s computer to shield it. Overall it was a success, so much so that my infrared thermometer couldn’t even measure the temperature of the cooler’s heatsink since it far surpasses the minimum measurement the thermometer could take, which was -58 degrees Fahrenheit.
