Im back! I have been really busy. I finally have time to continue this project. I have the terrarium now and the lighting, I even got the peltier , but some recent searches have confused me about the cooling I heard some people say cooling the hot side with liquid is better than air is this true? Also if i am to go the air cooling route do you have any heatsinks in mind? One last thing, how do i hold these together? should i just put it in vertically? Thank you for your time and sorry for being gone for so long!
yes water cooling is far better but i doubt you'll need it in your case cos you're not shooting for a huge delta or massive amounts of heat load
You'll need to apply pressure to the the TEC so you'll need to bolt the hot and cold side heat sinks together
Have you seen my TEC Youtube channel ?
