Experimental studies of the influence of the fan and module operating mode on the characteristics of thermoelectric beverage cooler
Keywords:
thermoelectric beverage cooler, cooling depth, fan, supply voltage, experimental studiesAbstract
Using a beverage cooler as an example, the dependence of the temperature Тс of the chamber (container) of the cooler on the supply voltage Uf of the fan on the hot side of the unit was experimentally determined for various values of the supply voltage Um. of the module. The correct choice of the supply voltage Uf of this fan allows not only to reduce the power consumption of the entire product, but also to reduce the temperature of the cooler chamber by 1-6 ° C, which automatically leads to an increase in its speed. When the supply voltage of the thermoelectric module Um changes in the range from 0.3-0.4 to 0.75-0.8 of the nominal value, a minimum of the Тс (Uf) function is observed. Bibl. 14, Fig. 4, Tabl. 2.
