Default Re: Biggest Copper Heatsink?

I'm not knocking liquid chillers - the question is whether the expense, complexity and energy usage are worth is for 8C over ambient (assuming, for the sake of discussion, that that's accurate).

Why no tubing? Do you know why the tubing is there? Or what the tubing is? Is there some way this is going to be a problem clamped to the back side of a TEC? (which is what you seem to be asking about). Were you planning on building your own freezone-type rig, but with air cooling "big copper heatsink" on the TECs? IMHO the major challenge you are going to run into is controlling the TECs, although if you had a mess of 'em you could just switch individual ones on and off - applies to a dual loop chiller as well.
