Alphacool Eisstation 40 DC-LT Reservoir (15369)

The Alphacool Eisstation 40 DC-LT Reservoir is a pump top with an expansion tank for the DC-LT pump series. It measures 60 x 40 x 40.48 mm, and almost 29 ml of coolant fits in the tank. It belongs to Alphacool's Enterprise Solutions series and fits into 1U server racks. No pump is in the box: a DC-LT pump is ordered separately.

Solo Top with an expansion tank

Alphacool describes this station as similar to its Eisstation DC-LT Solo Top and therefore also extremely compact. The difference is that the 40 already brings the expansion tank, also called a surge tank, with it. With the reservoir combination, in other words, the pump top of the ice station corresponds to this series. Solo Top and reservoir together are only 6 cm long, 4 cm wide and 4.1 cm high. Despite their size, however, just under 29 ml of coolant fit into the container. An insert for a bubble-down filter sits under the upper aluminum plate of the top, where it minimizes the suction of air bubbles. As with the Solo Top, the filter prevents air bubbles from coming to the pump.

On a radiator or in a 1U server

The station can be mounted directly on a radiator, and its size is why it fits itself to a 40 mm Alphacool X-Flow NexXxoS Radiator. The enclosed double connector, the rotatable adapter in the box, allows it to be connected directly to one of the four G1/4 threads on the side or front of the radiator. But as it is then joined straight to the radiator, the ice station acts as extended reservoir. Alphacool says that the station, including a NexXxoS 40 mm X-Flow radiator, fits easily into a 1U server enclosure.

What the loop needs

The tank has five G1/4 connections. Two are used and the rest take the three screw plugs in the box. If you mount the station on a radiator, the double connector takes one of the two. Tube connects through G1/4 fittings. The installation of the pump is identical to the Solo Top above: remove the bottom plate and insert the O-ring, then the pump is screwed down and the plate attached again. So the pump ends up completely covered by the top and protected from all sides.
