peltier cooled watertank

[TcMatic]

I'm gonna build i think next week i must buy some parts.
I'm gonna place the tank in the case a heatsink in the tank the cool side of a peltier mounted on in through a hole in one side.
mounting a heatsink on the hot side with a air sucking fan that blows the air through a big tube out of the case.
My question is
Is there anyone who have tryed this?

Looking for somone as nuts as you huh! ;)

Sounds like a goer of an idea tho............. Dont forget to take pikkis & let us know how you get on! :t

Watercooling is cool but the temp in my case is running up by the hour so after 4 hours the cooling sucks.
So i need to cool harder :-)
Sending the pics when i have them ready and running it well

Why not hang the radiator on the back then? :confused:

Thinkin about it cover the case in peltiers & go back to fans :D

I've thought about using peltiers to chill water too.

One way to do it would be using peltiers attached to copper plates that act as spillways. As the water re-enters the tank it runs over the cold copper plates.

Here's a rough sketch of how it works.

Pretty waterfall :)

Coloured water & lasers to create a cool ambience too :p

ummmm....

I've heard that water creates good feng shui.

maybe that's why computers sh@t themselves, bad feng shui.

I think something like this (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168477&highlight=cathar+peltier), with seperate loops, would be better. :D

Holy SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!:eek:

That gives me an idea though....

I think that setup would keep my beer cold when I'm out in the bush :)

One of the very first water cooling systems I saw had a peltier between the cpu and waterblock. Also, one thing I was wondering, why don't most water blocks just put the water-in and water-out pipes on the sides, and on top of the waterblock have a heatsink and fan? Would this not help contribute to cooling the water enough to be worthwhile?

penguins - that idea wouldnt work very good, as the falling water would get tiny bubbles and the water wouldnt absorb heat so good. what u would need would be sum thing like this:


...hang on, text pics dont work...:(

i cant show how i think, but it would be the same shape as a hot water bottle, and built like a maze4...

imagine a maze 4 withall those tiny channels... 1' by 2'!!

now put A LOT of pelts on both sides, all cooled by a HUGE copper block with slk900's epoxied on, and being blown on by a large household fan, or :x air conditioning:x


water goes in hot, comes out sub-zero!!

that would be super expensive, and it would need antifreeze, but would probably beat prometia :D

Or you could go out and get the components out of an industrial freezer and use it for some nice phase change cooling.
