I have a question (who doesnt right?)
I have started to test my setup, all items are in (http://www.confederate-eagle.com).
I took the water cooler system and set it up on the kitchen floor. Ambiant temp was 75f. and it ran like a champ.
Now this was WITHOUT the peltier cooled resivior. I had a 5 gallon bucket of water for the resivior (checking for leaks).
Well a temp prob from my digidoc5 showed that the Maze2 was at 69f and steady (no heat load, and no cooling, just forced water)
So I droped a tray of ice (16 regular size ice cube) into the 5 gallons of water (taking into consideration 10' of 1/2 hose and the pump, there was 5 gallons of water total)
Well you know what happened.
The water temp dropped to 65f and the bottom of the maze2 was right at 62f.
Here can the condensation. On the hoses, the maze, and the PUMP!
now when I connect the peltier how bad is the condensation going to be?
I have little control over ambiant temps. it will range from 90f to 70f on a daily basis (Im not here all the time, and the kids jack with the temps)
Thanks
