3 Cooling System
This Water Chiller unit does not use a compressor or chemical refrigerant for
cooling (like as used in a typical fridge at home). It’s has a Thermoelectric
Cooling (TEC) System instead.
Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) uses a Peltier effect to create a heat flux
between the junctions of two different types of materials.
A Peltier cooler, is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from
one side of the device to the other side against the temperature gradient
(from cold to hot), when power is supplied.
Such an instrument is also called a Peltier Device, Peltier Diode, Peltier Heat
Pump, Solid State Refrigerator, or Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC).
THE ADVANTAGES OF TEC
• Thermoelectric Coolers have no moving parts.
• No Freon or other liquid or gaseous refrigerants required.
• Noiseless operation.
• Very low power consumption.
• Compact size and light weight makes TEC well suited for miniature coolers.
• High reliability – Can work many hours with no failures.
• Relatively low cost and high effectiveness.
• Operation in any orientation.
TYPICAL WATER CHILLING RESULT
It will take approximately 30 - 40 minutes to cool 600ml of filtered water
when you first commence after switching the unit ON.
