 |  Re: Possible 8501 replacement kit?
@filker
in the factory I work we use 2 Peltier cooling element on each production line to keep the soldering paste at~25°C.
We have 12cm fans on them, and still te Peltiers die rather frequently, at least yearly we have to exchange each of them. If you do not cool is properly (on the hot side), it could overheat very fast.
(BTW this soldering paste cooling method developped ~12 years ago, and I can say it is rather advanced for it's age).
The heatpipe is nice as it could be a passive element, and the inside liquid's phase change itself transferring a lot of heat from the IC.
Usually they use a fan to cool down the gas, but I suppose, that from 8501 the linked thin (and long) heatpipe with a normal heatsink (outside the hot Plus/4) could be enough.
The only thing I do not know, how we could prove it is cool enough, and the cooling is efficient enough?
What is cool enough for the 8501?
