Intersting. Are there any benefits to running it in Isopropyl alcohol over mineral oil? How well does it cool? What about the evaporation factor?

I'm gonna assume the properties of the alcohol allows it to get to a constant temperature and remain there without freezing.

heh. I have the answers I wanted. The first shot shows the dry ice merrily bubbling away in the Iso ; ![]() here's the last shot I took before it failed : ![]() The temp sensors maxed at -48 and -40 as it shows here , and my exterior temp sensor maxd at -40 . I estimate the liquid temp was about -52c when she bit the dust... ![]() I'm going to let it slowly warm up , then try to find out whats died.

After letting it warmup/dry overnight , I put it back together and lo-and-behold , it actually still works. ![]() I'll be trying again in a while , once I get a better thermometer , and make some changes to the test setup.
