Thanks for your replies and sorry for the delay.
The waterblock is intended to make contact with the aquarium water. The waterblock is cooled by a thermoelectric module, and water is passed through the waterblock.
In my preliminary designs, I was using 6061 AL and a pass through device.
I am...
Thank you.
Based on some preliminary research (preliminary now) I am now kicking the idea of the part being made of copper (due to its thermal conductivity) and gold plate or electroless Nickel.
Does anyone think this is a possible alternative?
If not, would a ceramic based material be...
Hi EdStainless
Thank you very much for taking your time to answer my question.
It can be plastic if I can get similar heat transfer properties. The other part is since the contact time is relatively short, I count on some of the materials heat capacity to keep a large thermal gradient between...
Hi,
I am in development of a waterblock that will be used in continuous service in a saltwater aquarium.
I have previously Hard Anodized some aluminum pieces but have had one or two units fail.
I need a conductive material that has also been treated for corrosion resistance in a continuous...
