    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.

    Simply awesome!! I have build one my self but I realised that my cold "heatsink" was to small so I have start again. It's always good to go overkill with the insolation ;)

  • @philiphanhurst2655
    @philiphanhurst2655 Před 5 lety

    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.

  • @shaiss1
    @shaiss1 Před 8 lety +2

    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.

    This is an interesting concept. I appreciate your thinking and idea to create new things.
    I saw u using a circular saw to cut the MDF. May be you should have have used to cut all the pieces so you can avoid sanding.
    All in all a great project. Looking forward to see how you complete it.

    @locouk Před 8 lety

    Thanks, I've wondered what the marking on peltier plates meant, I e recently bought a pair of 5 volt ones, TEC1-4905. They can draw around 3 amps each I believe so I can run them from a good wall wart USB power supply.

    Question: Do the fans always stay on and it only the peltiers that get turned on and off ? I going to build one ;but, for my purpose it will be a little larger only needs to be about 70 F (21. C) inside.

    Question about power usage. Would slowly reducing the power on the peltier modules be any more efficient for when the fridge is near the target temperature instead of just turning them off and then back on when the interior heats up?

    This is awesome! I've been looking at building a cooler with Peltier modules and I've been wondering how they could be made more efficient. 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.

    i repair and install cooling machines and will take a look if it would be possible to put an evaporator of some sort and a condenser to a small fridge. all though it would require a compressor and many more components. but the smallest it could be would be still too big for a "small" fridge

    I have a mini fridge with a case around your size. The peltier unit is a TEC1-12705. I want to upgrade it takes quite a long time to reach 7 degrees. Would a TEC1-12708 give better temperature, if I optimize the cooling and power supply?

  • @be.spiritlove
    @be.spiritlove Před 8 lety

    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?

  • @juanadenip7638
    @juanadenip7638 Před 3 lety

    Nice project! Quick question, initially you were using the fan to force air to the hot side so the cold side would cool correct?
    Then you used and old CPU fan the forces hoy air our from the fins. Is this correct?

I creat the same sandwich with fan-heatsink-peltier-aluminium combine but can't reach expected coldness. When peltier's cold side was about -5 degrees, aluminium was only about 19s. Any suggestion?

    I Just Bought one of marlow industries's Triton ICE Modules from Digikey. Im Going to see how much more efficient it is compared to what im using now. They only go up to 6.5 Amps, But Im tired of running 8 amps at 12 volts when I may not need to. I want efficiency which am fully aware is difficult to achieve, even with liquid cooling.
