[@james_halpert]

12:30 Just to clarify, the liquid propane by itself is the same temperature as the environment. Only the gas is then -40 °C after the liquid expands to gas in the cooling block on the CPU. The super cold gas immediately starts sucking up all the heat it can get, that is why the metal of the cooling block gets cold. And the liquid doesn't turn into gas because it is heated by the CPU, it turns into gas because it is released from the pressure vessel that kept it liquid and naturally wants to expand into gas. The cold is just a by-product of that expansion.

[@AeroElectro]

I don't think the three people involved in the project could have come up with a worse explanation. I guess the typical audience here means that I shouldn't expect a proper scientific explanation.

[@sebastiangeorge9252]

Also worth adding that's it's not the gas expanding that provides most of the cooling effect. If the propane were going from a high pressure gas to a low pressure gas, the effect would be way smaller. Instead, it's the phase change from the liquid state to the gas state that causes the temperature to drop. This is also exactly what happens in heat pumps, as Alex pointed out in the video.

[@elijanzen4015]

Yeah, that was bothering me too, thanks for writing out a good explanation. Just to add to it a little bit, lighting the propane on fire is completely unnecessary for cooling the cpu. They could have just released the gaseous propane into the air and gotten the same effect. Whether or not having a cloud of explosive gas surrounding your computer is a good idea, well…

Given that the team over at Hacksmith actually knows what they're doing when it comes to building stuff, it wouldn't be unreasonable for LTT (who are not professionals in this regard) to take long enough and have enough trial-and-error to fill two build videos instead of one. Plus, failing at sketchy random stuff like this is exactly LTT's formula for projects like these - spending tons of work in order to get it working perfectly first try isn't in their interest.

Liquid Propane is not at -45 degree. It is at the same temp. as the surround area, but it is stored by high pressure. And when you allow it to expand again, the evaporation needs a lot of energy and it takes that from the only source, temperature of the gas and the surrounding. Thats why you can cool with compressed and liquefied gas, and you can do that with any and all gases.

This is why I like engineering, you just get a point where everything you work on is variations of the same principles in electronics and physics and you can just make whatever the hell you fancy. Colin furze, hacksmith staff, ltt, I did a thing, Michael Reeves and many many more people as an example, If i was ye Id be trying that cooler block back on a dual compressor ac unit with a huge condenser coil but still using propane as the coolant.

There's one thing missing in the explanation I think. The cooling effect should not come just from liquid propane being cold but rather the evaporation of the propane as Alex mentioned earlier in the video. It always happens with regulators even if you are welding a lot and your argon/CO2 needs to be expanded by regulator to become a gas. Evaporation sucks a lot of energy and that's what creates the cooling, not just the liquid being cold (which it actually should be room temperature anyways).
