will this work frig/water cooler LOOK

[JAP901]

I know 1 side of the compressor is hot and the other is cold would the cold line cool the water if circled round and round in the water box alond with the water being cooled with the radiator also. would this be a good set up?

Yes it probably would work.

Just a couple of things to consider:
The radiator is probably unnecesary, it will just end up warming the cool water if the water runs below room temp.
A cold water system requires more attention to condensation protection than a peltier system. All the water tubing should have insulation as well as the waterblock and socket.

Search www.google.com with the term WC-5. There's a guy running a similar setup. He's got some great insight and tips on his webpage.

I tried a similar setup. I passed a cooling coil through a bath in a freezer and then into a res stored in the fridge. It didn't work I think for the following reasons;
1. The freezer unit was unable to cope with the heat load being passed through the coil.
2. The res was not stored at a low enough temp.
There was a steady gain in temp at the rate of about 2C/per hour.
I think in planning such a setup one must consider the number of thermal transfers involved. In the diagram you have, you are using 3. First from CPU to water then from water via radiator to coolant and thirdly from coolant to refrigeration. From the work I have done I don't think you will get a good result unless you are using a very powerful refrigeration unit.
I am using a 110W fridge as a water chiller. I am busy sorting it out at the moment so I am not sure how successful it will be but early indications are that it is coping with sub zero cooling.
