I was thinking of running a custom setup of cooling through a baseboard radiator sections (12 feet of length) 3/4" copper in a crawlspace and pumped back into my room, total lift on the water will be about 2 1/2 feet, so flow should be fine. In the wintertime, temps of the coolant will be ranging from 0 F to 40 F, will this be too cold to be used in a dual 156watt peltier system? Because I read about chillers in watercooled peltier systems and they recommend that you don't run it flowing fully through the chiller and to use some sort of restrictor on it. Anybod know this answer? Thanks!
