So, the relevant issue stands only on the effectiveness of the convection currents created by the forced deltaT .

You're assuming that the condensation will occur only on the rad and maintain a low humidity of air passing through the case (after the rad). You could put the rad before the loop to maximize the effect (assuming it works). At the expense of a few degrees on the blocks.

I think 50ÂșC is a bit much thou . Are you going to isolate the chimney with neoprene or similar ? And the chimney heating the room, and changing ambient temps to higher , will help condensation on the rad ?. Hmmm.

Something else came up , you'll need something to collect the precipitated water on the rad ... sounds complicated.

However, i'd like to see it assembled and working.

Or, you could just heat up the interior of the case. Less hassle. But it would probably affect the effectiveness of the cooling loop.
