One of my cameras has a facility to supplement cooling by means of a water flow. It's an ATIK 11002M. The normal capability of the cooler is a max of 38 below delta. With water cooling it is said to be capable of going another 10.
During the cooler months, setting the temp to -20 was feasible most nights and on several, it would have been possible to go to -30 but summer is obviously going to challenge those settings - particularly if you hope to run the cooler at something less than 100% all the time.

So my thoughts have turned to the possibility of making use of the water cooler facility this camera has. Instead of having to settle for -10 or -15 over summer, it would seem possible to stay with -20 or go even lower.

So I am wondering what others have found about the feasibility and practicality of water cooling systems. What is availabe commercially and what have the DIY afficianados among us cobbled together.
