19 May 2015 - Trip to the hardware store caused a rethink of my air-flow system as I couldn't find what I wanted. But adaptation lead me to a better design. I've changed the schema drawing to reflect the change.

18 May 2015 - Slowly taking shape

17 May 2015 - Built a new Peltier Liquid Cooler Model. Fan - Heatsink - Peltier Cell - CPU liquid block. -3C from Ambient temperature in workshop 22C.

16 May 2015 - Coolant storage Tank and submersible pumps

10th May 2015 - Peltier Cell Liquid Cooling Experiment

Cooled 15 litres of common tap water in a Esky 15L Blue Keg in 12 hours I cooled to 6C from 17C now waiting to see how long it will stay below 10C.

April 4th 2015 - Rough Peltier Cell Cooling Experiment

A very rough and ready bench test in Adelaide April 4 at 05:00pm temp 21.2C Rel Hum 44% Barometric pressure is 1014.9 hPa Dew Point is 8.7C . I'm running a 12V 36W peltier cooler and fan on heat sink. At only 5V 1.3A it sustains a temperature of 3C and droplets of water form after 10 minutes.
