Post Rad Chiller Concept

[Clue69Less]

those water-blocks are quite epic

some day one of you guys involved has to try out 8 air-cooled peltiers. with 8 50W @ 12V peltiers + a 150W heatsource you'd have an average of (50 + 150/8)=68W output per peltier, which a $5.99 heatsink from newegg should easily handle.

with 40mm square peltiers + 60mm width k7 heatsinks you could do this x 2:

I worked with big TEC system that was air cooled. It had a home-made huge Al heat sink and a bunch of high rpm 12cm fans. It could heat up the airplane on a cold morning and totally wilt you on a hot day. I didn't ever want to hear "TEC" again after doing a misison in Mexico during a heat wave.

Status of parts?
Okay in the box; triple 120mm swiftech rad, 6 yate loons, the beautiful peltier assembly, meanwell, some wierd thin 80mm ish fan, a copper topped apogee, a laing d5 and I think thats it. Will be trying a few possible configurations, and most importantly will attach a ton of thermocouples and look like I'm doing something hard and technical.

Man I need to work on that "Look like I'm doing something hard and technical" thing...

Thanks for doing the testing..

Used one hand to scratch your head and the other one on your balls.

Got a Q, what size bolts to attach the yates to the rad?

1" bolts will do but i suspect 1.125"

edit also 6/32 threading mcr-320 right?

[Deux]

MCR-320 is indeed 6/32.

[n00b 0f l337]

K 6/32

[nullface]

Oh, i want one... i mean i NEED ONE!!!

[oublie]

any testing progress?

[n00b 0f l337]

Haven't had time, I'm sorry, hooked up fans, and have been searching for my tubing, started taping on temperature probes though.

[Sam__]

looking forward to some results this thing looks like a beast. Very cleanly done too.

[ArtosDracon]

I'll send you some spare cheapy 1/2-3/4 if tubing is the only issue! I'm sure naekuh has some laying around too!

This thread is kinda withering on the vine. Is there a backup band that can play during the intermission?

I think someone just needs to go and kick NOL in the butt to get him moving!! LOL

[n00b 0f l337]

Hey didnt get any time last week! Finals today and tomorrow. All thermocouples are attached though! And I've plumbed her. Gotta add some distilled water and do some quick wiring.

lets go then!

[n00b 0f l337]

Haha come on wait for tomorrow
I wish Ihad better tube, this homedepot crap sucks lol.

[littleowl]

oh yeah it does!!! it would be much better if you had some nice tygon or masterkleer

How many feet do you need? I've got some spare 1/2 by 3/4 tygon.

[littleowl]

I am good with it but nol needs it.

Check out my project here.

10 basic air heatsinks on 10 40mm peltiers (rated as 137w). The idea is to run each peltier at no more than 5v (from the 5v line of my existing PSU, so no extra PSU required). Not aiming for ultra cold temperatures, but a little boost without using too much power. Also, I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible.

The work in the link above is more like a prototype as I have made so many compromises. However, as a proof of concept it will show me if Im wasting my time or not.

ALso, its painfully slow progress though as I cant do any work on it whilst at university which is where I am almost all of the time. I have made some progress from the end of that thread, ill have to put some more pictures up soon.

[Clue69Less]

I'm anxious to see how this performs! I'd go with a separate power supply.

That is still an option. My testing seems promising with regards to using the same PSU for system and chiller, but testing and maths are not the same as trying it for real.

I don't want to thread-jack. Feel free to post on the thread on the other forum, ill probably start a thread on this forum too soon.

[Clue69Less]

I don't want to thread-jack.

And here I thought you were the back up band???
