Alphacool Eisstation DC-LT - Solo Pump Top

The Alphacool Eisstation DC-LT - Solo Pump Top is a compact pump top for the DC-LT pump series with three G1/4 connections, 50.62 x 50.62 x 37.2 mm in size. It is compatible with that series only, and the pump is not in the box. The top belongs to Alphacool's Enterprise Solutions series and even fits in 1U server racks. Alphacool's text also writes the name as Ice Station DC-LT Solo Top.

Where it is used

Alphacool describes the top as extremely compact and, together with the DC-LT pump, very powerful. It plays to its strengths wherever there is little space or a pump should be stored to save space. That makes it well suited for small water cooling systems too.

Plate, filter and expansion

If the upper aluminum plate is removed, the top can be extended by an expansion tank, which Alphacool shortens to AGB. Under the plate is also an insert for a bubble-down filter, which minimizes the suction of air bubbles. With the AGB combination, the pump top of the ice station corresponds to the Eisstation 40 DC-LT series.

Mounting

Alphacool calls the assembly very practical and versatile. The accessories include a Velcro mat, with which the top can be fixed anywhere in the housing. According to Alphacool the mat adheres very well and gives a secure hold. Those who prefer mounting feet can order them separately, so you can install the ice station at a 30 degree or 90 degree angle.

Installing the pump

To install the pump, first remove the bottom plate, then insert the O-ring. With the pump screwed down, the plate is attached again. So the pump sits completely covered by the top, protected from all sides.

What the loop needs

The top holds no pump of its own: it needs one from our DC-LT pumps, plus G1/4 fittings for the connections in use. Alphacool describes the ports in its text on the Eisstation 80. When the pump top is used together with the AGB, the inlet is located on the side of the AGB and the outlet on the side of the pump top. Without the AGB, there is an additional input on the opposite side of the OUT.
