It is now an open project for anyone to try and build.
OK I see...

My feelings also....but there are one or two points in your last post which i don't think are right

1.)
"With a 45°C Delta, we need to keep the hot area at 50°C to get 5°C on the cold area. " Here you have tailored the figures to fit your ideal, unfortunately it is rather fanciful, in real life it won't happen. without any apparent heat attached to the coldside (It looks to me like there is an intended gap between plates 3 - 4.) the coldside will be colder than you imagine and with only minimal cooling on the hotside (room temp coolant) I can see a temp delta larger than 45º. Even if you theory was correct (45º delta.) it would result in a heatpump of only 30% Qcmax or less ie very little cooling.
2.)
"Then we also have the refrigerator to further cool the water."
What refridgerator ?? The TEC is merely a heatpump taking heat from the lower chamber and dumping all that heat plus the heat generated internally by the TEC into the the top chamber it is a heat mover it does not actually do any heat lowering in fact as I already said it creates more heat in use. This is why using only one loop will just get warmer and warmer.. The heat will only be removed from the system if you use a dedicated hotside loop to do so.


I realize that this is your "baby" but you have blindfolded yourself in your willingness for this to work.
