SRC Member beebeefl Posted May 19, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hmmm so the bottom part of the heatsink is in contact with water? Then there are alot of choices of commercial CPU coolers to choose from. Quite amazing you managed to reduce the temperature to 14 degrees without TEM module. What was the volume of water being cooled? Flowrate? the ceremic plieter is not in contact with water as i have used glue stick to seal up. only alluminum probe is in contact with water for those bros who are afraid of corrosive with salt water you can puracarbons to absorbs very small heavy metal posioning ( which i think not neccessary) because i believe most of us has drank and used before those water bottle like SIGG.

SRC Member beebeefl Posted May 19, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 19, 2009 THE BEST THING IS THAT LOCK N LOCK COMES IN DIFFRENT SHAPES AND SIZES YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM. BUT WARNING THE PLASTIC THEY USED ARE SOLID HARD TO MELT OR CUT. this DIY CHILLER OR COOLER CAN ALSO BE USED AS A PRE FILTER BY ADDING BIO BALL OR FILTER MEDIA' WATER PUMP OUT FROM TANK TO DIY COOLER AND PASSES THROUGH MEDIUM AND GRADUALLY GET CHILL AND GOES BACK TO TANK ----DUAL PURPOSE---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouldian Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi, I believe this producet have been available commercially for quite sometime liao - IceProbe, I've used before in a 2ft tank with 2 x T5 and find it difficult to cool during hot days. Nevertheless, thank for sharing, hope you will be able to solve the inefficiency issue. Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.

SRC Member razornova Posted May 20, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 I believe the TEM module on the ice probe is only 50w of cooling power. You need about 100w for a 2ft tank. Not sure if it's sold locally but i've seen them for sale online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's sold locally but i've seen them for sale online. Oic, just curious, so how much will it cost to have a TEM module that is sufficient for a 2x1x1? And will the cost and size of the TEM b ecomes prohibitive? Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.

sherman Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 just place all your activated charcoal -puracarbon is a good choice. into the socks bag from dymax actually not neccessary as i said aluminium is not corrosive. (reason if its is corrosive than we ourselves would have been poison from drink from SIGG bottles liao haha just go n buy a mini tem fridge.... and salvage out the tem and power source and you can have a econmical cooler safe money alot because running on 12v only 2amp How much is the Mini Tem fridge?

Gouldian Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If I am not wrong, Dolphin Mini Chiller is also using TEM and have 1 model that is rated as 75w and another that is 150w. Herewith are some comments of it in another local forum: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36656 http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40484 Bro Beebeefl, I am not trying to be a wet blanket. Just wanted to explore your concept in details for the benefits of all. Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.
