chiller operation

I do believe that may help quite a bit. I had 2 feet of clearance, and 1 foot in the back, with an open top. Here's what the housing looks like. Even when I left the lid off it wasn't enough. The inside plastic gets quite warm. Too bad I'm gonna have to cut a 1ft x 1ft hole on each side.

The Arctica manual says it needs at least 1 foot of clearance in the back for proper function. Try moving it away from the wall more if you can. A fan may help some, but as I just learned, needs to match the cfm of the chiller fan to do any good.

Ok. I will try that also, but here is a pic where you can see that i only have about 6" to the wall but it doesn't cover all the way which i think the hot air will despite thru the side...

Interested to see if you moved it away from the wall and if it helped with runtime at all.
