Kryotech Renegade

The Kryotech Renegade is what Kryotech likes to call, a room temperature cooler, that takes the entire technology behind the -40:C Cool K6-3 and removes the problem of condensation by keeping the temperature of the system at or around room temperature. A simple and easy to implement idea on the part of Kryotech, essentially a downgrade from their supercooled systems, that boasts cheaper costs and a more flexible design.

Let's first discuss the technology behind the Kryotech Renegade room temperature cooler (the same technology is used in the Cool K6-3), and the Kryotech design in general. When you open up your kitchen refrigerator you're greeted by a refreshing gust of cold air courtesy of a technology that has been literally right under our noses for decades, and a technology Kryotech took the first step in moving towards becoming a desktop computer cooling solution. You're all probably familiar with the old household refrigerant, freon. In the early 90's freon was quickly replaced as a refrigerant by a more environmentally safe alternative, and that is exactly what the basis for Kryotech's cooling solution is. Vapor Phase Refrigeration, as the technology is referred to, uses the physical properties of a refrigerant like the one mentioned above to achieve an effective level of cooling, by taking the refrigerant stored in a liquid form and heating it to the point where a phase change is initiated converting the liquid to a gas which cycles through the cooling system and is returned to a compressor which initiates another phase change and compresses the gas to a near-liquid form. This enables the heat to be removed from the source, and the cooling system itself to remain self sufficient.

Kryotech claims that Vapor Phase Refrigeration is 50 times as effective as traditional forced air cooling (your standard heatsink/fan combo cooling device) and 5 times as effective as forced liquid cooling. Using Vapor Phase Refrigeration, Kryotech has been able to allow their products to run at levels around -40 degrees Celsius, an achievement which opens new doors for desktop computing opportunities, the biggest of which happens to be overclocking.
