peltier effect fridge

Heat pump device is shown working and how extremely well it works... it has no moving parts and no poisonous gasses in it unlike traditional refrigeration methods so it is environmentally friendly!! This is the way of the future and one day we will have these devices in our standard home refrigerator!!! This would also be able to work as a heater cabinet through polarity reversal....

What's the wattage of this TEC?

[talldude6]

@folken692000 50W

amp draw??

[talldude6]

approximately 4 amps at 12v D.C.

A compressor fridge would still be more environmentally sound because watt for watt, a compressor consumes much less electricity than a peltier cooler. That electricity has to come from somewhere and will probably come from coal or gas. So yes, peltier coolers are great for low weight applications, but they suck for energy efficiency. Interestingly, it's very difficult and inefficient to build a micro-compressor for a cooling system. So there's a solution for both extremes.

it uses electricity... a LOT of it

lol is that out of a dick smith cooler ?

@talldude6 I am planning to make a model like you did but should the hot side be facing the up?

Thanks

Can you tell me hoe can I make one for my CPU?

@folken692000

hi,

can one peltier 3,1W do the same effect? (max 7V and 3,1A)

thanks

@talldude6

I have a question.. I recently got a peltier unit with 37W and 3.9A at max..i wanted to use it for a small fridge, but even though i have a heatsink,. in a matter of a few minutes the cold side becomes a little above the room temperatue, i would liuke to know what you did for yours to work like that :)

4 amp @ 12 inefficient piece of shit.

[vmelkon]

How cold can it get? -25C? -50C?
