That was my point.

I realize the T-E cooler is a heat pump that needs a radiator but I 
still don't see where a condensation problem comes in unless the T-E 
cooler is improperly engineered so it gets colder than ambient 
temperature on the cold side. Water and mercury in tubes also need a 
radiator, no? If the same amount of heat is to dissipated per unit time 
and the radiators are the same wouldn't they have to be the same size?
