I've done some work with Peltier modules. I think the best way to use them would be something akin to an "ice-box". You would replace the air-to-water heat exchanger element with a peltier module enhanced unit. You would use the peltier units to bring down the water temp and air cool the peltier units. If the peltier units were mounted in or on the upper water-to-air core the surface(heat sink) needed to properly remove the excess heat would be prohibitive. The advantage of this setup is it would only require the replacement of one element in an already existing system.
