Re: The REAL Kryton GB round #3
OK. I've decided to add one more modification to the Kryton block. I was thinking of how we could increase thermal efficiency for the modules that will be used for labby type setups and the best thing I could think of was the addition of a fan. However with the fins being radial it kind of precludes the addition of a fan unless you mount it above the module and blow down on it. As such, I've had a brain storm to include the ability to add a fan to a labby type setup.
The modules will be larger in diameter than the original Kryton lava modules at 25mm. We'll probably increase the outside diameter to 30-35mm to add additional fin depth to accommodate the new additions. Tell me what you think
It will still have a flat base.
Anyway, with the addition of the holes THROUGH the fins, you can attach a fan to the back side of the module and have air flowing through it. The air would exit pretty much over the entire module out the fins. I can honestly think of no better setup than this as 1, it increases total surface area by a long shot, and 2 allows for air flow. Increasing the size also increases the total thermal mass. As far as I'm concerned, this is a win win scenario for those wanting to make 445nm labbies.
