MattC Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, please Peltier devices utilize an electrical current to produce a cold side and a hot side. The hot side gains it's heat energy from the electricity used to drive the device and from the heat absorbed by the cold side. Would it be wrong to say that close to 100% of the energy used to power the device ends up as heat on the hot side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattC Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 not counting any heat lost through wires as the power travels from the source to the outlet and then through the plug and into the peltier device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
