Post Rad Chiller Concept

[Ultrasonic2]

Of course this is inefficient, we do know that; however technically it has it's upsides.
For instance, the TEC's increase the delta that the radiator operates at, thus increasing its efficiency.
And yes, higher flow rate will bring this system closer to ambient; however you are still operating a heat gap at the processor.

I agree that at low flows you will see a big temp difference between hot side out to cold side out of the TEC.

So you'll see a lower temp going in to the CPU block than at high flow rates. This also means the temp exiting the CPU block would be higher than with high flow rates too. Net affect is point less. The same idea applies the the radiator.


Even if the suggested system did work why bother ? Why not go to a duel loop system. one loop with the hot side and rad. and the the other with the cold side and CPU. This way you get tangible results for the rather large investment of chiller TEC's and electricity used. All you'd need is the extra pump.

Martin posted this chiller on OCN and at the time i protested against the proposed plans for it. I tried to sign up to this forum too but that took aaaaggggeeeessss so by the time i could post their wasn't much point as this tread had died.

From the OCN post on this chiller i actually thought the proposed idea was to have 2 loops a hot side and cold side loop but with radiators in both sides which would result in minimal benefits.
