COOLING SUCCESS!!!!! FINALLY!!!! WOOHOO!!
Last idea I had...I needed a massive increase in heat dissipation; Sooooo........
I disassembled the TEM module and removed both the fans and the heat sink from the hot side. Took my spare that I bought and pulled off the chiller block and replaced the heat sink and fans on the one in operation with the chiller block with the ports facing 180* the other way. I used the spare radiator fan, spare pump, and a 1 gallon plastic bucket for a reservoir. put it together and turned it on. The hot side is maintaining 90* water temp. and the chiller side has pulled the cabinet temp. down to 63*F from 71*F. Proof it will work-just need to size the components correctly and get the refrigeration TEM modules. I may need (3) 180Watt chillers... That will give me 540 watts of cooling.
Beer time boys!! Been stressed last couple days, finally got proof of concept; IT WILL WORK!!!!!
Only bummer is I'll have to wait another month for the parts!! LOL!!! Oh well...I'll have summer fishing to preoccupy my time. Red Snapper season opens in 2 weeks...
