cooled water setup

[shawnlizzle =]]

i just wanted to squeeze more performance out of a water-based (concept wise) cooling system. i was thinking about TECs but they are too unefficent, plus it takes up a lot of electricity and what not. so i was thinkign about a chilled water setup. i seen stuff on xs about that, but i never really understood how you make a chilled water setup with an air conditioning unit... any suggestions/help?

i.have.no.clue.... lol, looks pretty dry though, dipping the evap is for more performance, but i'm looking for a dry setup =\

i kinda did more research and i now understand how the water chiller basically works, but the thing is that, it is a closed loop. i have to find a way for the evap to cool off my water.. any suggestions?

i'm thinking of dipping the evap in a big resevor full of zerex+water mixture. then i'll just loop that chilled liquid around my system. =D

Tell me about what you want the temps to be. There is a way to do this without going to that much trouble.

You'd need to insulate everything, including your tubes, from condensation.

Thats assuming your pump will work at those temps, which it wont, and that your pipes won't crack.

ceramics don't crack under those temps, they crack around -45, and yeah, i will insulate everything

way more effort than it's worth.

I must have been having an acid flashback "although I dont do acid" when I replied to your question. Most of the time I will have 3 or 4 IE's open when I am in the forum. I must have gotten your question mixed up with someone else.
