Koolance Releases Compact Chiller EXC-450

btarunr · Jan 21, 2015

Koolance released the Compact Chiller EXC-450, a device that combines a pump, a 1 liter reservoir, and a radiator (chiller) into a single portable unit, which is ideal for open-air benches. This coolant chilling unit works much like a refrigerator or water-cooler, chilling your coolant below room temperature. You simply plumb this unit to your water blocks. At 25°C ambient, the chiller's capacity is 450W, or 1,535 BTU/hr. Temperature options include liquid set-point (1 to 50°C), external thermocouple set-point (1 to 149°C), liquid and ambient delta-T (-50 to 50°C). Drawing power from an external 24VDC power source, the unit draws about 250W of power. Available now, the Compact Chiller EXC-450 is priced at US $1,499.

Expensive. If I had the money though I would be tempted

I guess if you can afford (or can't afford, but are stupid) a $1500 heatsink, 250 watts an hour isn't that much of a concern.

Professional benchers need only apply?

Seems a very niche product and at that price, itll stay that way I assume.

Nope pro benchers get custom built chillers that go as low as -24C on a 150W load -16 on a 250W load and 4C on a 550W load. Those cost less the only down side is that they aren't as compact as this.

Um reminds me of my 600+ plus dollar zalman resiratorXT which I sold last year. having custom loop built into the case makes life easier for me BUT these units like the resirator rock for OC
