Do it yourself pump for CBO

September 3, 2010 Computer DIY / Cooling 108 248 8

Well, what is the CBO, I think some have already guessed - this is a water cooling system. What water pump ? - This is a pump that makes coolant circulate through the system. In the article I will tell you one example of a homemade pump.

The engine of our homemade pump is a cooler. I took the standard 60 mm. and for a current of 300 mA I advise you to take a 120mm cooler with a maximum current for a normal result!

Let's get started. First, break off his outer casing and wings. See picture. Then we will draw it into 6 parts in order to then glue its impeller.

Coat with sealant or epoxy everything where water or coolant can get, because our cooler will be completely immersed in the liquid.

From a blue cap from the handle I cut an impeller. And stuck it.

Next, you need to take a vessel along the diameter of our engine and attach it there with glue. See the photo.

The output of the wires is coated with sealant. We do everything without gaps.

Glue on top a transparent cover with a hole in the center - this will be the entrance of water. The tube on its side is the exit.

only it seems to me that if you change the direction of the blades the effect will be much better ... [color = yellow]

It’s not better, because through the bottom of the blade, the water will be captured and pagan squeezed out

Not really I like that it is necessary to break a cooler.

The idea is not original, I thought of it myself - for the fountain, a pump was needed, if possible for free ... I used trimmed blades on the wings - they are slightly curved. The plastic of the coolers melts very well with a soldering iron, so I made all the connections without glue, with a soldering iron. Bottom line: The height of the blades had to be reduced to 5 mm, because the rotor was strongly braked against water, the inclination of the blades also increased - as in the figure, only obliquely, beginning at the front edge of one blade, end at the rear edge of the adjacent blade. The height of the water column has increased, but this is really not enough - the cooler has a weak motor. As a result, he took the motor from the LPM tape recorder, greatly lengthened the shaft so that the motor was higher than the water level. Then only this pump worked efficiently! Noisy only, because the motor is collector ...

Duck your output tube is looking in the wrong direction :))) Gee-Gee. I have to look at meeting the flow of water, and not him in the wake. Uh ...

The idea is not bad, but not every fan (even 120mm) can really pump water. Most often, he will simply whip it inside. Or the flow through it will be minimal, there is nothing to talk about pressure. It’s easier to buy a pump for minifunders, since their chines are riveted for any water consumption. So at the same time you will get a finished and 100% working product, and its price will not be more than that of the same cooler by 120mm.

Guys, there is an idea to use a water meter with any motor. how shall we try?
