Kryotech's Components

The KryoCavity

The KryoCavity is a thermally sealed unit that surrounds and isolates the CPU:

The KryoCavity is actually two pieces that are hermetically sealed. The lower piece is permanently attached to the motherboard, and the actual ZIF socket is located inside the lower section. The upper piece then screws right onto the lower piece, forming the seal.

This is where most of the magic takes place. There are two tubes going to the KryoCavity, an incurrent and excurrent pipe. Liquid Freon is pumped into the incurrent pipe of the KryoCavity. Inside, it physically touches a cold plate that in turn contacts with the CPU surface. The Freon draws the heat off of the cold plate and is evaporated in the process. Then, as a vapor, it is compressed out of the KryoCavity and driven into the condenser. In the condenser, it is air-cooled, and liquefies again. Then, it's back into the KryoCavity!

Now a problem typically associated with the condensation of a vapor to a liquid is creating precipitation in the process. Kryotech avoids this problem by including heating circuits on the outside of the tubing and on the outside surface of the KryoCavity. While this seems completely paradoxical to have heat generated inside the case, this measure is taken to prevent moisture from forming inside the case. Additionally, the heat that's generated is minimal, and is not nearly enough to really affect the ambient temperature inside the case. Kryotech's claim is that using a vapor phase method of refrigeration is 5 times more effective than forced liquid cooling, and 50 times more effective than forced air cooling.
