hey isn't there some kind of inert (non-conductive) oil you could fill the whole thing with that transfers heat better than air does? if nothing needs to be moving in there then viscosity etc shouldn't matter.
it just shoudn't leech into or out of anything and be chemically inert in the relevant ways. most oils are pretty cheap and probably every little bit matters in this kind of setup. removing components would be pain though. (everything oily).

The water had to be purified to the point of being nonconductive. Since there's no such thing as perfectly pure anything, the system did exhibit some gradual corrosion.
