Optional water chilling

[_scarrik_]

I have an idea to use one or more heat exchangers with a pump/res and an aquarium chiller in addition to a ordinary water loop for optional extra cooling 

 

would this even work well?

You cannot mix a chiller and a rad in the same loop. The rad will just warm up the chilled water by absorbing heat from the air.

Diagram your loop.

BabaGanuche is correct.

Bypass the "hot" rads if your external rad/chiller goes sub-ambient.

Get some way  to  monitor dew point. Like BT or Wifi ... (the temperhum is kinda shit...)

So I can bypass the internal rads and just run my external supernova 

 

edit ah now I see your arrows.

As it is in the photo I run through the internal rads and not the pass through. Now if I open the pass through valve (svirly) and close the rad valve (front rad back to res) …
