Water Pressure in reservoir-less loop

Go to solution Solved by Mick Naughty,

I’d recommend doing all bleeding with the pump at full speed. And don’t lower the speed until you seal it or close the loop. 

 

That way a slight vacuum will be put on it. That way when the pressure changes, it will be back to normal during that time. But only for awhile till the fluid starts to evaporate.

Hi all,

I'm planning a custom water cooled build in a small form factor case which means i don't have room for a reservoir. I'm aware that filling and draining and bleeding it will be a tedious process but the part i'm unsure about is if the water pressure increase will be a concern in a closed loop considering there isn't a reservoir what air in it that can compress if the volume of the water increases. Is it possible that the pressure in the loop could burst a fitting?

You should be fine, as AIO coolers don't have reservoirs and don't suffer any ill effects.

No but you will have a tough time letting air out

what pressure are you talking about? compression?

The pressure caused by the increase of volume due to the temperature of the water increasing

Awesome thank you! I did think it would be negligible but just shopping for fittings and seeing pressure relief fittings spooked me a little
