Default Opinions on Chiller Controller Card design

Hi,

I'm after opinions on the design for our chiller controller card before we get to "into" the build:

I don't know much about advanced electronics so I cant really comment on that, other then it is a nice concept....But I might like to buy one sometime if you go into production with them....I have a 5000btu AC sitting here that I am going to make into a slush-box chiller...With one of those i might be able to pay my electric bill......Between the chiller and my 437W TEC I'm sure it will be high bill....

They are the bomb
It can adjust the fan speed baised on temp . You have the option of PWM or linner control. The old one was only PWM which wasn't that great as the PWM created a loud sound at low fan speeds... linner control sloves that. I was / am going to use it to control TEC's

For an update if you're interested. We've completed the first prototype and are now starting to load it into the test rig to see how well it performs!

I'll let you know what happens. We'll be testing with a Core2 6800XE on an nvidia 680i mobo (evga revision 2).

hmmm... do you realise (ive just browed your pics a little) that putting a rad in the loop only adds to the heatload as soon as the coolant goes below ambient?
