I like playing with thermoelectric modules. I currently have a TEC2 19006 that I used for a DIY fridge that I made out of a cooler box and it works damn well, bringing it down to 20C below ambient. Now with this beast of a 12730 that measures a whopping 62X62mm, I really should water cool it as I have no intention to move to Siberia in winter with a couple of Delta fans to air cool it.
I can’t find any water blocks big enough, as they seem to max out at 40X40mm which is fine for a smaller TEC, but not for this. Should a I get a copper sheet and cut it to size and then mount to a smaller water block? But then I would have to buy a pricey copper water block as I don’t think an aluminum block would play nicely with copper.
I still have no idea what I will use this for. Maybe I should build a lumen box and use that to measure the output of an SBT90.2 pushed to its limits…or SFH55. No idea. Or possibly to cool the coils of the induction heater I built so I can melt steel or something.
There is also the possibility of using it to water cool a PC with a cooler that uses more electricity than the CPU itself.
