Primochill Typhoon III Reservoir System - PEC
After three years of evolutionary development
and building on the foundation of the original and extremely popular Typhoon,
PrimoChill has taken a revolutionary leap forward with the introduction of the
Typhoon III Reservoir System--proof positive the third time really is the charm.
Designed by a pro case modder FOR case modders, Typhoon III is the perfect
marriage of performance, reliability, ease of installation, and day-to-day
usability with a huge helping of "modability" added to the mix. The heart of
that performance is the most popular and reliable DC pump on the planet--the
D5--which we mated to the easiest to install and easiest to fill and bleed
reservoir ever made. It doesn't matter if you're just starting on your first
modding adventure, or if the word hardcore bounces off of you like a cotton
ball--Typhoon III is the best Pump and Reservoir choice you will ever make.
*Features* of the Typhoon III PEC were carefully planned,
designed and executed to perfection.
*Fill/Bleed Trap*
Located in the front is an overflow basin where two recessed G1/4 tapped holes
are ready for filling and draining operations. The inside of the reservoir has a
domed shape that eliminates trapped air spaces completely--allowing you to
easily and safely fill the reservoir and your cooling loop 100% full. To fill
the system initially or to bleed off trapped air, simply roll the case onto its
back which makes the reservoir the highest point in the loop and remove the
plugs and fill. Because there are TWO plugs, any displaced air can easily
escape. Periodically repeat the procedure to remove any trapped air that may
accumulate in the reservoir from your loops. Users wanting to drain the loop can
easily do so by tilting the case onto its face--making the reservoir the lowest
point in the loop.
Because the drain holes are threaded G ¼, you can also add a temporary fitting
and a length of scrap tubing running to a bucket. Again, because of the domed
inner surface, users can drain the loop 100% dry which is helpful for flushing
any accumulated particulates.
*Pump Expansion Chamber (PEC)*
This version of the Typhoon III reservoir system features TWO outlet ports and
TWO inlet ports allowing two discrete loops on the same reservoir, pump, and
radiator without the use of additional manifolds or “Y’s” / “T’s” which can
decrease efficiency in the loop/s. The pump housing features a full 360 degree
deep-draw helix with an oversized (nearly double the stock D5) primary outlet
that feeds an expansion chamber to decrease any pressure drop. The back of the
housing is optimized for the dual bay upright mounting position so that water is
spun up by a spiral structure that is humped (we buy it dinner first =) and ends
in a very sharp edge at the inlet terminus which feeds water into the impeller
at a decreased angle that lowers motor loading.
We stole a page from the new breed of fans currently in use in the air cooling
segment by focusing on efficiency over the brute force approach of the past.
What this means is that rather than spinning the same fans faster and faster to
increase airflow, they began making lower RPM fans that are more efficient--and
quieter. How this translates to water cooling and the Typhoon III is that we
focused on a more efficient use of the excellent D5 by allowing users to choose
a single or dual loop configuration that eliminates all of those flow choking
“Y’s”, “T’s”, and manifolds that kill performance. Dual loops that are less
restricted also allow you to avoid pumping preheated water from one component
into the next one on your loop. Another advantage of this common sense focus on
improving efficiency is a much more attractive installation that also improves
airflow inside your case by eliminating a lot of clutter.
*True Dual Bay
*This is the ONLY Dual Bay reservoir you can install and never have to
move or unscrew to fill or bleed your system. This enables you to run the
perfect amount of tubing without having to run extra to let you pull the
reservoir out to fill (Smart!!). These two bays are the ONLY solution for your
water cooling loop with all four ports facing directly rearward, so there is no
need to compensate for one or more bays above or below the reservoir to allow
for a turning radius on your tubing.
