Perfect timing to post, as I was coming to post pictures. I tried to post earlier, but my internet was down so I couldn't do anything.
I remove all of the foam that I have put in. this is how the system was delivered, so I may need to pull it apart and reseal it, because there obviously was no previous seal.
I added the shop towels in just so I could see where the condensation is building up, and you can see exactly where in the pictures, since the shop towels are drenched through.
the foam that was previously in there was added by me. All of the foam has been replaced with the foam that GunSlingerOCS normally uses with LN2 cooling. I would think that anything used with LN2 would be fine for phase change, but obviously I need something better somewhere. I am fine with putting more money into the system, but this tearing it apart anytime a storm rolls through to redo something is old at this point. This will be the 6th time tearing it apart. I am NOT willing to waste this time over and over every few days because something isn't right. I want to get it figured out and fix it properly/permanently, or get rid of it completely. Putting an extra $200-300 into a system after spending so much to get it up and running is not cost effective at all, especially when it is said that it is supposed to be fairly "Set and go" (compared to LN2/DICE) which it is not at all.
I will order the foam from McMaster, but which one am I supposed to get? there are hundred of them, and I looked at the
neopreme and the
Super resilient xtreme temperature silicon, and then the
extreme temperature silicon.
The Yellow hard foam in the mount doesn't stop anything, which would seem pretty obvious, which is why I have considered sealing the top so that condensation doesn't drip down in through the mount. I can say for a fact, if it continues to happen after spending another handful of cash, I will get forced to get rid of everything with the phase change completely. I really don't want to, since I have come to figure out that my electric bill isn't all that bad after most of a month of folding, but having this system down and fighting with it for over a month is getting old.
