Thanks everyone,
The visitation is tomorrow and the funeral is sunday.

So I am trying to keep my mind off of this at the moment.

For the experiment of placing a Peltier unit directly on the glass with heat sinks on the unit and on the other side of the glass
I have found a couple of heat sinks that have fans on them for CPU cooling that I thing will work well for the test.

On the inside of the teat enclosure I plan on using this unit.

I chose this one for the inside of the test enclosure since the airflow is directed to one side.

I have some plastic coated NdFeB, Grade N42 magnets that have a pulling force of almost albs each.
and I will mount them on the ends of each leg of the 4 fasteners on the heatsink fans module.
That should hold the two heatsink modules together nicely.


Here is the heatsink fan module I am using on the out side of the test enclosure.


I chose this unit since it is a low profile and its airflow direction is not a concern.

I hope that having the heatsink directly on the other side of the Peltier unit.
with the glass in between it that the thermal waste be it high or low temp will be a carried away by the heat sink fast enough
to prevent the thermal gradient in the glass low enough to keep it from cracking.

So far the cost of all the above equipment is less than $40.00 US retail.
This does not include the cost of the controller for the fans and temperature sensing.

And the power requirements are very low so far.
With the fans and Peltier unit running at 80% of max I figure less than 5A total @12V DC

This reminds me of when I was building my custom gaming PC

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I hope you and your family can find strength and comfort from each other and those around you.

Sorry I haven't updated this thread but all research has been on hold since I have been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.
Work has been relentless and in the last 2 months I have been home a total of 2 weeks.
