Post Rad Chiller Concept

[systemviper]

Hi, I have been thinking of the same thing for a while, but since i don't have equipment, i have been looking for some kind of equipment to mod to do kinda the same thing.

With that said, wouldn't it be more efficient to run some kind of dual pass over the cold side of the loop, like a radiator flows and have as much "cooling water time" on the TEC's cold side as possible, why just run the water down the shoot once, loop it back and have both the input and output on one side, again just like a radiator. I think you will add a little more flow resistance to the loop but the gain from using the TEC's cooling more efficiently by giving the water more cold face time would be much more beneficial.

BUT on the hot side keep it just the way it is to keep the heat flowing off the techs as fast as possible.

Does this make any sense?

That would be the way I would design it. I would also look into a triple pass also, especially since it's just going to be on a single CPU loop and have a good pump or 2 to keep it moving....

Well that is my

PS, Martin I would be using the 62mm TEC's and be looking for the most cooling I could get. This is not for 24/7but for some fun benching, the techs will be run by some Variable Power Supplies so Voltage and Amps are not a concern.

How could I get some of your time to get one of these too

I will shoot you a PM....
