Silly Q on home made chiller, improving cameraman's design
So, I found out the hard way what happens when your solution gets on the warm side, and right off the bat I seen cameraman's design on a chiller. Cool stuff, got a 300 gph pump, and some 1/2 inch pvc today.
Then I thought, ya know, PVC doesn't conduct heat very well. So, my question is, would there be any side effects if I replaced the pvc with aluminum? I would imagine I'd have to naturally anodize the aluminum tubing that goes it, but if I'm not mistaken, it stops conducting electricity. Does anything happen if I continue leaving it in there? Like, can I over-anodize it and cause problems with everything.
Seems like a silly question, but for the purpose of cooling, there's no comparison on which one is a better conductor.
Thanks guys, I'll post pics of my build as soon as I get this squared away, thanks for the idea cameraman!!
