    Peltier kegerator

    So, now I call this project finished. Im still at 9° inside, but I can without doubt live with it. I now have 2 beers in my livingroom and just have to turn away from the tv to fill it up. I like it and Im happy it turned out well. Thanks for all the input and to those who was just negative...

    Peltier kegerator

    So. Now i added a fan inside and replaced one broken pelter thar was hot on both sides. I even added fans on the radiators. So after six hours it dropped from 17c to 11c in a 26c degrees room. Its been dropping 1 degree an hour. So this experiment looks promising. Pic from finished will come up...

    Peltier kegerator

    No I dont know. Its 4 136W at 15V and I drive them on 12V. If the curve is linear, it should be like 90-100W each? I could have made my life easier, but this way is more interesting. I dont care about the prize of power in this project. I can handle the cost of electricity. The space in the...

    Peltier kegerator

    It now look like this. Im down to 10-12°C (50-53,6°F), but the fans Im using dont really blow.... So I ordered better fans, and then I think I can keep the temp lower in the cooling blocks. I hope that lower temp on the hot side, giva a lower temp on the cool side. Am I right? The hot side is...

    Peltier kegerator

    Im planning on a pump that flows 650 litres an hour, DC40-2470. But instead of running it on 24V, I plan to run it on 12V. It shoul still flow like 250-300 litres an hour. That should be ok, I think. If its not enough, I simply buy one more.

    Peltier kegerator

    Yea. That has been a big concern so far. I didnt find a pump yet that are small enough. So that little pump that came with the water container will do in the meantime.

    I hope to test the peltiers next week when I get home from work

    Peltier kegerator

    I hope to run these elements on 6 to 7 volts. Even the small waterpump because the noise. I dont know, but maybe I come down to the level of around 50W each then. And reasonable ampage. I have only 10 amp fuses at home on 230V. It still would be around 200W, and thats a lot more than a big...

    Peltier kegerator

    Yes. They are water cooled. I cross drilled the outer aluminum block.

    Peltier kegerator

    So what? Its not that they are going to burn 400W 24/7 the year around. And still half the year I will have the heat inside the house. The fact remains that cool boxes with peltiers work. Exactly the same thing. And well, its cheaper to buy the beer in cases of 24. But as a defence, I...

    Peltier kegerator

    Its gonna be a PID controller for the temp inside the cooler. And one pid to control overheating. Now im gonna find some nice powersource for this

    Peltier kegerator

    Some pics of my new cooler. Its gonna be cooled by 4 136W peltiers. Here is the front. The top are gonna be covered with tile and then the taps. Not finiched yet on the inside. More insolation on the doos an some plsatic on the floor. The auminum sheet on the back is gonna work as a...

    Hot/cold fermentation cabinet with TEC (peltier) module

    How cool can you get it? How many peltier coolers and what watts are they? I have 4 and plan to run them at 12V. They are 136W at 15V. So I need to cool down 400W an Im gonna use fans through a transmission radiator with 120mm fans. Pic soon of the cooling section.

    Im interested about those waterblocks. How does they look?

    Hot/cold fermentation cabinet with TEC (peltier) module

    Here is the issue that halted my plans. Large heatsinks are hard to find. If I find , they are very very expensive. I plan to use 4 millimeter aluminum for backside of my small corny fridge. Like 500 mm wide and 700 mm high. That will do as a heatsink for the cold side. Then.... The hot...

    Hot/cold fermentation cabinet with TEC (peltier) module

    Hi Dont know if I missed something, but how many peltiers did u use? And how is the attachment? I plan to build a small fridge to fit 2 corny kegs and I can think its stupid to invent the wheel twice. How big are those cooler elements, and did you make some calculations of how big they had...
