Thanks for that info David. Where did you buy the QSI pump? I will probably try out your method of running the cooling lines on the counterweight bar.
I have ordered the rest of the equipment I believe I need to get the cooling system operational (Pump, connectors, radiator, mounting brackets, etc).
I am thinking of putting a couple of quick disconnect fittings on the lines so that I can remove the camera from the rest of the system. I am looking at wall or floor box mounting in the observatory for the pump/radiator.
It is pretty clear to me that this is a more expensive heat shedding option than the heatsink/fan combo that is traditionally used. I have already spent three times the amount on getting these components together. The out of the box integrated water coolers, like the Corsairs, might be great for the inside of a PC case but they are unsuitable for cooling a camera.
Longer tube runs require more pump head pressure, and a special water block is required so keep the weight down.
Testing the differences in performance will be interesting.
