Something a little different from me today.
I saw a Perkin Elmer C6 Chiller unit for sale at one of my regular equipment recyclers and decided it was cheap enough to buy and play with. It cost me just £16 and these sell for over $1000 so not bad really.
The unit is basically a dinky compact refrigerator that contains a heat exchanger to cool a fluid circulation system. The C6 contains its own fluid pump to circulate the cooling fluid around the cooling system. This is quite separate from the refrigerator cooling pump and circuit.
The IN and OUT connectors are for the cooling circuit hoses that connect the chiller to whatever needs cooling. It is a close circuit with a top up access port on the top of the unit (grey cap). A 1:1 glycol/water mix is used in the cooling circuit.
This would make a great fluid chiller for fluid cooling an overclocked PC
Specifications are as follows:
Chiller Range - User selectable for -5C to +25C
Max Power - 450VA
Cooling Power - 180W
Cooling agent - R134a
Hose Connectors - EURO quick connect type
The refrigerator module is a 1.25HP DANFOSS PL50FX Made in Germany
All in all a really tidy little chiller unit
