> Can you explain how you intend to use glass as a heat exchanger?
They just... sell glassware for that lol (picture related). Being an insulator, you just need more surface area or a greater delta-T to drive the transfer. (honestly, it is the same problem even if you use the plastic tubes.)
The reason why I mentioned potentially using a batch process, is because it may take a few passes to get the gas down to the dew-point, if you lack a large dT or enough surface area.
As long as you can insulate, and keep waste heat from leaking into the exchange. Then even if the exchange surface is an insulator, that just means it will be slower, not that it wont happen. (the flow rate will be important to any setup, otherwise the exit gas may be warmer than the dew-point)
>Copper
I'll be using copper and aluminum for the thermo-electric heat exchange, I just don't want it to touch my drinking water lol.
