You should install a computer controlled valve on your output. Add a DS18B20 sensor to control the valve on a raspberry pi zero or arduino, maybe a relay depending on valve voltage... Set it up to pump into the cooler, and once the liquid reaches a certain ambient temp - the valve opens to squirt some out. Once the output liquid temp rises because the "fresh from bottle" liquid is flowing through - stop the valve until that cools to a set temperature... You'll always have cool liquid.

You should add a thermal mass to the heat exchanger block to prevent it from heating by the flow too quickly. Big chunk of copper or iron should be fine. Also, keep in mind that if You leave the liquid inside the block it may be cracked once liquid got frozen.

[@carlogargiulo4101]

You should add a big block of metal to "store all the coldness"

[@jimeththemelancollie351]

I'd love to see this done over with some thought given to the flow of heat between the various parts of the cooler. Heat pipes function better with the heat source at the bottom, as they work through the evaporation and condensation of the water inside them, and heat rises. A lot less important but still worth a mention is your fan orientation in other videos. How you have them here is fine, but the orange juice freezer had the fans blowing downwards, essentially working against where the heat "wants" to go.

[@knobcaller3277]

Slowing down the output even more as well as using copper or metallic piping/tubing could make this thing work really really well. Is worth investigating, I would buy something like that! Good idea

You should grab another bottle, and some more hose, and circulate the coke through the blocks. This should transfer the heat out of the system, and eventually make the coke ice cold. Add a spout to deliver the coke out of the circulatory system. ;)

[@varma.]

Move the flow control contraption to the exit pipe, that flows into the glass, so that the liquid outflow gets compressed thereby allowing the liquid to stay longer in the cooling chamber.

[@chaosminecraft3399]

Shall idea, on the opposite side could be 2 more peltier devices. 2 on bottom and 2 on top. Just want to suggest that idea.

[@dbugman68]

I think you should try to flip the whole thing upside down so heat will rise up into the cooling system more efficiently and use smaller tubing for the drink. Also a fish tank air pump valve might help dial in the flow rate. Keep on making these videos, they are great work.

[@moreenpackard6897]

Did this same experiment, based on calcs only. Your assessment of the efficiency was the same conclusion that i came to. Peltier coolers (TEC) are a heavy and expensive hammer to use on this job. Great work...

What if you put a potentiometer on the pump? That would slow the flow better i think.

You dont do that. Potentiometers are mostly not suited for high currents. You would take a transistor or a mosfet and then controll that with the potentiometer. The mosfet is then controlling the pump

[@jstagzsr]

the way those style cpu coolers work, dont they have to be right side up (or sideways but less effective still) for them to work? aka youre not cooling the hot side as well as you would if you just simply flipped that whole contraption upside down with the waterblock on the bottom and the coolers right side up?

The idea of choking the fluid was good, even though you should put it at the outlet of fluid instead of at the inlet, that's the reason why thermostats exist and they go in that point of the system. Good job kid.

[@scrow7752]

use thermoconductive tubing so the frost permeates the whole system, leaching heat at every point along the way.

[@Fstop313]

What is thermoconductive tubing made of?

[@scrow7752]

​@@Fstop313 Copper? Or something non-toxic that wont react with soda but still conducts heat well. Whatever spreads that frost along the whole length of the tube, it could act like a cold-capacitor of sorts. Even better if the thermoconductive pipe is surrounded by a slightly wider insulating pipe filled with thermal-capacitive fluid/gel.

But i'm sure there are much better ways to do this.

[@cbale2000]

It's not more expensive, just harder to calibrate and get good resolution. I could have built my own 3D printer but I didn't want to spend months screwing around with it trying to get it dialed in. Instead I got a pre-assembled printer last summer and it's been running flawlessly with zero calibration (beyond the auto-calibration it does before each print) or maintenance. If you're doing it as a hobby, building your own 3D printer can be a great experience, but if you want something that just works, buy one pre-assembled.

1) Turn around so that heat fins do not send hot air back up to the blue cooler block. 2) Add temperature sensor with simple regulator (Amazon..) to avoid freezing water in the cooling block. 3) Good design and obviously cools very well. Good luck.

[@JohnyDees]

Why you didnt Put the heatsinks on bouth sides of that Block?

[@ericvauwee4923]

Peltier-Elements or thermoelectric coolers work by "tranporting" the thermal energy ("heat") from one side to the other. To do so, you put current into them, and one side gets hot (the one with the CPU-Cooler) and the other one gets cold (the side with the waterblock). If you put another heatsink on the water block you actually "waste the cold" as there is more thermal mass to cool and the fan even mores more air through it. So to actually improve cooling, you should insulate the cold part, so that the only medium to get cooled is actually the coke passing through.

[@JohnyDees]

Eric Vauwee yeah im not dum of course you put another module in between

[@MrModTwelveFoot]

Right. Heatsink-peltier-waterblock-peltier-heatsink.

[@T5MKINDYOWNER]

I'd think double/triple stacking cooling blocks on top of each other so the soda passes through the block furthest from the peltier then through the block nearest the peltier will help drop the temperature further without adding extra current demand. It will increase the thermal mass the coke has to warm too which can only be positive! Obviously the initial cool down and recovery time will be slower but it will be a cost effective way of improving the efficiency and dropping the final temperature. You could also insulate the cold side to prevent ambient heating though the effects will most likely not be that great, finally flip the system upside down since heat naturally rises which will have a small effect on making the heat sinks more efficient. 'Cool project' though :)

[@bugz000]

was thinking this exact thing, big block of metal on the other side of the waterblocks to add a ton of thermal mass :)

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Probably a little late, but you've got the whole assembly upside down. Those heat pipes on the heatsink have a liquid inside that needs to be in contact with the heatsink itself, it boils and rises up the tubes to condense on the walls of the upper tube, transferring it's heat to the copper and dripping back down to be boiled off again. The more heat you can pull off those TEC cells, the more cooling power you'll get out of them. And try modulating the voltage of the pump motor to fine tune the flow of liquid, a trickle would be ideal. Also, adding a peice of aluminum bar stock to the water block bonded with thermal paste will increase the amount of liquid you can flow through it before it warms up, and insulate the outside of that as well to decrease losses. Awesome project, I like the idea of cooling on demand versus cooling the entire volume at once. Kinda like an Insta-Hot, but the opposite.

[@noleftturnunstoned]

The air pump was a great idea. A water pump eliminate the carbonation.

I developed a similar controller to control the temperature of ICs between -70 and 180C. i also tried using large heatsinks like yours using heat pipes; I discovered that using this system I could only get down to about -20C on my second stage plate. I'm pretty sure that's because the liquid in the heat pipes has to evaporate; meaning the hot plate gets to a higher temperature, thus the cool plate is at a higher temperature, If you want it to work faster using a standard aluminium heatsink with a couple fans should do the trick.
