Quad Cooling Unit Component Collection Status

...

To avoid condensation on the peltier devices, you must maintain a dry atmosphere in the cooling unit whenever there is coolant flowing through the coldplate. If condensation forms on the peltier devices, it will degrade the performance of the cooling unit because ice and water is an excellent conductor of heat. Getting rid of this condensation requires a long term “bakeout” of the coldstack and is best avoided.

Interlock 

  •  Overheating = the chiller fails and the PS keep running
    • temperature on the cold plate
  •  Condensation = Dry air fails, moisture condense and destroys the device
    • dew point < air temperature
  • module temperature drop ←55C
  • communication => fail safe

Coolant

from Su Dong:

There may be some additional piping volume within chiller besides the 300ml tank. It may sufficiently safe if we get two 700ml bottles of the recommended coolant by ThermoCube: Koolance 702 (27% propylene glyco + water mix): https://koolance.com/liq-702-liquid-coolant-bottle-high-performance-700ml-blue. Propylene glyco is a nicer substance (used as food additive in some cases) than the more commonly used ethylene glyco as an alternative antifreeze.

The exact model of the ThermoCube we are working with is 10-400-3G20-1-CP2-R2-LT-AR which I think means: 400W capacity, >3 lpm @ 30 psig magnetic drive gear pump, with adustable flow setting for 2 lpm, 3/8" CPC shutoff valve, RS232 interface, low temp op (<5 deg C) and auto restart software. 

This might an old model which doesn’t say what type of cold plate it is. Stainless would have carried a tag ’S” some where so this may be old style anodized AL PCW plate ? Koolance claims to be friendly with both Al and SS.


Peltier

  2.  1 Layer peltier: Sheetak SKCM-240-11-T100-NS-TF00-ALO (75W)
  3. 1 Layer peltier: HP-199-1.4-0.8 (120W)
  4. 1 Layer peltier: HP-199-1.4-1.15 (175W)

Results

  1. Check the Temperature distribution on the Peltier, temperature distribution is not flat on the cold side of Peltier while running the Peltier
  2. foam box can help isolate the Peltier system and increase the temperature difference between hot side and cold side
  3. running load will increase the temperature on the cold side
