136 watt Peltier Cooling Chip

 

Amazing devices, one side of these Peltier Chips becomes absolutely freezing cold and the other very hot  when power is applied. Make a refrigerator with no moving parts and no compressor!

Peltier Junction, Thermoelectric Cooler, TEC, Heat Pump - all these names refer to this same device. When a DC voltage is applied to these devices, one side gets cold while the opposite side gets hot. They are so efficient that they will self destruct if measures aren't taken to draw the heat off the hot side using a heat sink and/or fan. Properly utilized these like other semiconductors will enjoy a very long and dependable life.

The possible applications for these go far beyond the simple heating or cooling of coffee and beer; controlling the temperature of chemical reactions, heating or cooling of small engines, etc.

This Peltier chip's maximum power consumption is approximately 136 watts. The maximum voltage you can supply it with is 15 volts and at that voltage it will consume about 9 amps. It's best to run the chip under these absolute maximum specifications.  They MUST be used with a large heat sink (the larger the better) to dissipate heat away from the unit - if you don't use some sort of heat sink you'll fry them. Using a  large heat sink on the hot side you'll find you can get ice to form on the cold side in under 30 seconds. Attaching a small fan to blow the heat off the heat sink increases performance even more. Great for cooling all sorts of devices/gadgets. Customers have already used these in everything from small refrigerators to performance enhancing devices that cool air entering carburetors or lowering temperatures of fuel feed lines to increase engine power.
