Wouldn't it be nice to have a cold beverage right next to you. In this video series I will show you how to achieve this luxury by building a homemade cooler which decreases the temperature of your beverages down to 8 degree Celsius.

I've always loved the concept of Peltier coolers. Mainly because you're draining heat from a source using electricity (which by design produces more heat). While it may not be as efficient as a simple heatsink, it is much faster.

Thanks for the great video! Perfect timing as I need a very tiny "fridge" to keep my solder paste in @ about 10°C max but handy near my bench. I may try another hotbox by reversing the peltier module to warm up the paste without having to use a hot water bath.

I know this is 5 years old - but thank you for making such a great video with narration. So many videos just play music which is not helpful. I have a few questions for you about how to set up variable speed controllers - probably a PWM, on fans. I'd be happy to chip in a bit extra to your Patreon campaign if you've got 5-10 mins. Thanks.

Great project! My only comments would be using the pea method for applying thermal paste as mentioned in another comment. Also, i think a copper plate at the back of the cooler would be significantly more efficient than the aluminium, especially where you stacked the aluminium to reach the heat sinks. (of course copper is significantly more expensive). Of course I don't know if the use of a better thermal conductor will lend much aid to an inefficient cooling methods like thermo electrics in the end.

@robgandy4550 6 жыл бұрын
Sorry, clicked comment before asking the question I wanted. I got a ton of solar cells. Rated roughly, .5 VDC at 5 amps. First of all, they are very very very hard to solder together. I had to be so careful. I used braided to series them together. What I'd like to do, is make a better solar system unit. Basically, being able to convert, say the .5 vdc to roughly 12 vdc, (Of course amperage drop). So I started with a Joule thief type circuit. Then to a simple NPN/PNP oscilator to up the voltage to somewhere I can start converting to useful voltages, etc. I ended up doing a two cell series. More like useful 1 VDC at 5 amps. The problem of course, is that this performance of the cells is dependent on the sun. I can't always count on .5 vdc, thats why the converter. So If I have two cells, I can reasonably work with .5 to 1 vdc. But I need a good circuit to deal with these varying voltages, to a constant 12 vdc, or even 6 vdc. What do you have in mind if you would be so kind as to suggest to me some circuits. Please and thank you!

Great video. I been thinking why do people use a fan to coll the Peltier module? Why not trap the peltier device between two water sources pump the cooler water around pipes to the fridge back into the hot peltier water side and return to the cold. Would this be enough to cool? If needed might need a fan to cool the pipes. Would this work?

@meclucas 8 жыл бұрын
This idea is good for an educational project, but I wouldn't use the on-off type of control you are using, trust me on this I have already worked with TEC modules before. Every time you turn of the system heat will flow from the hot side to the cold one, making your fridge work as a heater when the voltage is turned off, this will cause your microcontroller to act way faster than you are expecting and with that the life of the TEC will be substantially reduced. There are two ways to control the power output of a TEC module properly, one of them is using a fast acting PWM signal (it must have a higher frequency then the heat flow inside the module), the other one is using a linear power regulator, witch is more complex but very interesting to put to work. Linear Technology produces one IC specific for this purpose the LTC1923, it's very good, also Maxim Integrated has a whole line of drivers and power controllers for TEC modules.

to you think that using PWM is a good thing? that was also my first idea on mine, but my arduino is a 5v,and my Peltier is a 12 V, i drive my fan with a PWM pin linked to a static relay. ... unfortunately, my SSR support only 2 amps, and already burnt one o my 8 channels (I'll use it on another project, don't worry for it) so what could be a good solution?... I'm curious because a friend of mine just told me his peltier has died 3 minutes ago... and I'm scared it happens to me too pretty soon.. thanks :)
@cameraman1234567890 5 жыл бұрын
To effectively reduce the risk of the issue with the on-off thing, you need like a 5 volt low power mode to keep heat from coming over to the cold side again.
@rodrigobarretto9090 5 жыл бұрын
This can be greatly reduced if you let the external fan on for a minute or so after the TEC is off. If possible, switching the Peltier from 12 to 5v and finally off(but still leaving the fan on for a while) would give another help in cooling down the Peltier element.
@dozog 5 жыл бұрын
Old Post, but very good point. On off controls are notoriously bad for efficiency. In Air-conditioner land, all the good ones now use "inverter" technology, what really means it's not an on/off control with a two degrees hysteresis, but a DC control.
