I've been reading up a lot on the recirculating immersion chiller idea and want to experiment with it but not commit to copper until I knew if it worked for me and my setup and the ideal design. CPVC seems like a great way to tinker on the cheap, but I don't know. The stuff I have is rated to 185*F, but if I had a big temperature differential, like an ice bath, and tested it with water at 180*F, would the CPVC be OK? The biggest chilling challenge I have is below 100*F anyway. I was looking at a simple design, then cutting a few different lengths of tubing to experiment with the return coming both above and below the liquid line, and both inside and outside of the coil. Thoughts?
