Questions
What approximate flow rate do we need? How do we setup our Watson-Marlow Breded Pump to obtain the necessary flow rate?
How do we easily calculate the activation size of aerosols?
Where can we purchase a thermo-electric cooler that cools water flowing through a 1/4 inch tube?
Potential Answers:
TE Tech Liquid (Model numbers indicate capacity rating at 0 degree temperature difference)
Cools liquid and suited for small heat loads and lab work. Probably the best choice thus far. Roughly 152 x 127 x 96.9 mm. $245. Powered by 12 VDC. Compatible with all TE Tech temperature controllers.
LC-035
LC-061 178 x 127 x 96.9 mm. $302. Powered by 24 VDC. Compatible with all TE Tech temperature controllers.
LC-200 161 x 216 x 147 mm. $635. Powered by 24 VDC. Compatible with the TC-720 series, TC-36-25 series, and TC-48-20 series temperature controllers.
If temperature controllers are needed, the following could be used:
The
TC-48-20 can be programmed with the device or can be connected to the keyboard to work with included software (source code included if necessary).
TC-48-20 OEM works the same but does not have the keyboard or housing, to lower cost.
The
mechanism through which water is cooled. This is smaller and would be able to work with smaller plate coolers, but would require the additional purchase of a cooler and a heat sink. there is also nothing to indicate whether it is effective at cooling water.
Questions:
By how much do we need to cool the water?
How fast must it be cooled?
What kind of power source must be used?
Do we need a specific temperature control? [Yes?]
How big should the cooler be?
What should it be made out of?
How big can it be?
Do we need a pump?
Notes:
Tellurex has thermoelectric coolers, but there is uncertainty over whether they can cool a 1/4“ tube directly.
TE Tech has cold plate coolers that could work for cooling a tube of water, but they would likely require an adapter plate.
Tellurex comes pre-assembled; TE Tech's require assembly.
TEC Microsystems has a large variety of smaller thermoelectric coolers, but there are no listed prices.
Thermoelectric liquid chiller/cooler might be an equally viable search term.
The heat sink will likely be much bulkier than the actual cooler. Plate coolers are generally compact and thin, but the heat sinks cover a larger area and are much thicker.
Heat sinks are slightly more difficult to find on their own, and are 2-3 inch diameter circles.
