Hi all,
Does anyone on here have experience with Peltier coolers? I have a surface 3.5 by 1 inch that is heated to 200c when current is ran through it as part of a cycle. When the current is off i need to be able to cool the surface faster than leaving it to cool in ambient temperatures, preferably in 2 or 3 minutes. Ideally i need to get the surface down to around 60c or as close as possible in this time. I cannot use any liquid systems as part of this and motors are too large as i have limited space. roughly 6 x 1 x 1 inchs of space for cooling components.
Would anyone know whether a Peltier cooler combined with a efficient heatsink and fan would work for this task? There will be no additional heat going through the heated surface at this point. It will just need the residual temperature taken down.
I understand there are issues around the solder melting and my understanding is that theres only a 70c difference between surfaces on the peltier and even then thats not under load. any advice is appreciated
Best Regards,
Joe
