Just like my old video that took 12 minutes to say "You should use heat exchangers with your ice makers," today we have a 12 minute video that says "Your polymer presses need to be in direct contact with a liquid if you want to cool them easily."

A lot of people struggle with cooling down polymer presses their first time, because unlike every other system they've tried to cool up to this point, the press outputs so much heat that the thermal conductivity between the press and its coolant becomes an issue. 32500 DTU/s is a lot, and in short: Fourier's law does not look kindly on attempts to cool this heat source when your k is low. It usually doesn't help that the polymer presses are most commonly built out of gold amalgam, which has mediocre conductivity itself.

The solution is simply to let the presses sit in a thin film of water-- just a few grams or kilograms is enough to establish a thermal connection. In this video we show off a closed, passively cooled system in which the polymer presses are cooled off with the same petroleum they are using as an input.
