TEC's for cooling

Recommended Posts

Whilst not entirely astronomy......was thinking of using TECs to create a wine cooler, so that I can put a bottle of nice white into it and then run that off 12v supply so have nicely chilled vino whils tout viewing or setting up / imaging / stripping down (very tenuous link there)

Does anyone have any recommendations on which TEC to go for?  Possibly looking at gettign one of the wine collers that you get in a pub that is basically a metal sleeve and then modding that to put the TECs onto a cool side inside and hot side outside with smally fans to shift the warm air.

Have never ventured into this, so all a bit experimental at the moment.

Am also going to rig up a secondary fan for my CCD very similar to the Starlight Xpress fans you can buy for it, but at a fraction fo the cost.  Have loads of fans sitting in a box so only need to form a piece of plastic to mount it on and then run power to it.
