your plan has a flaw. ignoring all the details and getting to the big picture. the evaporator chamber as you said has hot and cold water. youve taken the heat from the cold and put it into the hot.
superb. but wait... thats not the end.
your "huge radiator" and "tank of tennis balls". lol sorry, not acting like an ass, Im being serious, as I thought of this before. (ps, dont use tennis balls, go to a fish store and youll see bio-balls, high surface area lego looking things for sump filters) ANYWAY, useless info. heh so all this heat is being diffused via a radiator. thats all there is to it. screw the tennis balls infact, pump the hot gas through the radiator, and with the the walls being colder than the internal gas, it will condense. or you will see at the chem stores they sell condensors use for refluxing solutions, its essentially a pipe within a pipe, the outside pipe flowing water around the inside pipe, thus condensing the inside vapor. but very expensive to keep fresh faucet water circulating all the time.
wow Im getting all off track. stay with me.
your still diffusing all that heat through the radiator. making the evaporater worthless. could have just pumped the water straight through the radiator and gotten to where you ended up.
actually not true, and your idea has some merit, and a MASSIVE amount of inefficiency. the radiator will not expell heat as effectively as the evaporator, thus the evaporater will get the water colder, and the water in the radiator hotter. being that this is happening, greater difference in temps in the radiator, thus faster heat loss. and same goes for the PC, colder temps, thus greater heat geain.
not a bad idea, but electric costs to maintain a vaccumm pump is gonna be painful, not to mention the fans youll need for the radiator.
