Full Version: Heat in the Haas box

I'm worried about the heat in my projector. The LCD temps seems to be acceptable but around my electrical circuit it gets very hot. But how hot should it get ? Am I paranoid ?

I would like to have comments and opinions on what kind of heat should be expected inside the Haas box. I've drawn a side view of my box with what I assume is the main air flow nad temperatures that I got after 15 minutes (not stable yet).



Any input is appreciated! smile.gif

I have nothing to compare your temps to. But in the cases I've been making the glass heat shield is actually shifted upward. It seals to the top cover and causes the air to wash both sides of the rear fresnel. Then the air enters the rear chamber from the bottom.

Their is a pic of the air flow in with the drawings.

Bine, would this work? see image: Not sure if you would completely block or just significantly narrow where Ive marked. My arrow line is the percieved "new air flow" In theory this would possibly bring more cooler air
across and thru the lamp area?

I havent tested the temps at the different points you have, I know I run about 90F at the panel. I will do some tests and let you know. how many fans are you using and what type.

I tried something close to that tonight, and it didn't do much. Maybe I missed something. I'll try again tomorow.

Thanks for your help.

At this time, I have 1 evercool. I'm waiting for the second one. But I beleive Brainchild said that 1 evercool was enough.

Thanks!

I installed my second evercool and here are my updated temperature readings:



It seems better but I would still like to have other people's temperature readings to know if I should do more to decrease temps.

I wouldnt worry about your temps now that you have two evercools, they seem fine. how big are your intake vents? I originally had them 1/4", when I opened them up to 3/8" I was able to drop my temps 7 degrees. I wouldnt do anything else to yours now.
