High School Elements capable of cooling without compression?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the search for cooling elements that do not rely on compression, with participants exploring options like thermo-electric cooling and materials such as PVC. There is a specific interest in superconducting plastics or metals that could serve this purpose. The conversation also touches on heat pipes and jacketed piping as potential solutions, although these were not the primary focus. Participants are encouraged to research thermo-electric cooling for more insights. The thread highlights the need for innovative cooling technologies beyond traditional methods.

Wondering if anybody had information on cooling elements such as coils or plastics?

Could you be more specific?
 
Perhaps thermo-electric cooling? Google that phrase.
 
Yeah thermo-electric crossed my mind, I was thinking something a little more like PVC. Kind of like a super conducting plastic or metallic?

Heat pipe.
 
Jacketed piping or do you mean an air exchange?
