Hot-side water Temps would be nice.Shame to miss if(?) only involves a minimal effort.
Otherwise have to estimate Heater -core performance to get an estimate of Chiller performance.
My guess for perfomance of Heater-cores would be 0.02 - 0.08c/w per Heater Core giving Hot-side Water Temp 6 - 24 c(~300w per Heater-Core*) above Room Temp - not a very satisfactorily estimate.
* Used Since87 Spreadsheet for 220w TEC power dissipated( ~250w per TEC) then added added "CPU + Insulation Gains" guess(50w per TEC).
In limited play found Since87's Spreedsheet to:
1) Give reasoable agreement with my own crude VA measurements of an in service 220w Peltier.
2) Give "heat pumping" results similar to "Pefectly Insulated" Kryotherm sums for a 172W TEC.
Sean, I think it is both a neat and useful tool.. Guesses at the enigmatic "Insulation Losses/Gains" can be added using Kryotherm.
