I have some power consumption numbers.
Chiller ( PSUs, TECs, fans, and pumps ) - 925 watts at 30C ambient
This is just a little over the max wattage that I had planned for the
chiller. However, the ambient temperature at my house will be around 20C,
so the power consumption will be higher ( at peak loads ) when all is said
and done.
Here is how it breaks down :
Pumps - 104 watts
Fans - 54 watts ( approx)
PSUs and TECs - 767 watts
I forgot to try to see how many watts the PSUs use with no load. Anyway,
the calculator at

shows that ( assuming my Chinese TECs are similiar enough to the Ferrotec
TECs) the TECs are pulling about 4 amps at 35C hotside, for a total of
about 650 watts ( at 11.6 volts ).
Would a PSU consume 55 - 56 watts with no load?
