Hi All,
So I am trying to use a recirculating chiller to cool/heat an insulated container. This chiller sends deionized water through silicone tubing that enters the insulated container it then is passed through copper tubing in the container before it goes back through silicone tubing to go back to the chiller. The copper tubing fits into a slot on an aluminum plate that I am effectively trying to cool. The copper tubing is also clamped to this plate. The chiller has a temperature display on it that tells me the apparent temperature of the water. It tells me that effectively the temperature can go from 30 °C to 10 °C in 5 minutes. I have attached a temperature sensor to the aluminum plate to find that it takes around 40 minutes to reach 12 °C. I am trying to calculate if this temperature change should be this slow but have found from my calculations that the temperature change should be much faster. Im hoping someone can offer me an explanation as to why my math doesn't match my actual results.
