Cold Box Construction




This is the physcial construction part of the cold box. Ira is doing a great job of the automation and control side.






I included some basic pictures of the framing and will add more as we go along. The frame uses 1/2" plywood and 2x4's to create the backbone of the structure. Essentially it will be a box within a box. The inner box consists of 2" Dow Blue foam and the inner most liner is made up of FRP panels for durability and easy clean up.






To cool the box we are using between 2 and 4 120mm fans to circulate air over a Haydens 405 Transmission cooler that will be hanging from the ceiling of one end of the box.






Just a tip when constructing a cold box with Liquid Nails adhesive. When applying it above you be very careful how quickly you sit up. That stuff is a pain to get out of your hair.
