Cool, do you have any pics? What size pipe, do you solder the plate to the pipe, and is it just a straight shot or do you coil it or otherwise do anything to increase the surface contact area? I like the idea of copper because it withstands corrosion better, and soldered fittings have fewer leak issues ;?)I put copper plates on a copper pipe.
:edit: Ah I should have clicked on the "reply" button. Ah well.
Which cobs are those that's a fucking crazy idea. It works? There's not any issues not being flat against the pipe completely touching?I used 22mm pipe with 40x40x3mm copper plates soldered on.

This is sweet but Im not sure it would be any better than standard rectangular aluminum tubing. Would be curious of a side by side comparison of that and an identical one built out of aluminum.I used 22mm pipe with 40x40x3mm copper plates soldered on.

Who cares if it looks ghetto so long as it worksI doubt there is much performance difference indeed, but didn't have rectangular aluminium tubing. Nor would I know how to weld them together. Copper pipes and all needed fittings are cheap and available everywhere. It's designed to transport warm water around without leaking so I assumed it would be safe.
I'll admit it looks "ghetto", but it works
Actually in the finished product there are several pipes connected for a single flow. This was just a test tube. The full thing is 3 pipes with 8 COBs (400W total).
trust me there's better options. just make something and we'll go from there. we'll help you constructively here.goddamn it between growmau5 and vitaly from chilLED, i'm questioning my own sexuality.
Thanks for the kind words.. I can't wait to start putting pieces together. Do you mid sharing some features of setups you've run?trust me there's better options. just make something and we'll go from there. we'll help you constructively here.
