Description
During the scorching summer of 2018, I needed a way to cool down my garage. Since I didn't have the space for a traditional external AC compressor, I had to get creative. My solution was to design a system that could vent heat out of the room through a specific exhaust point.
I wondered: What if I could consolidate all the heat produced by a Peltier cell—or a bank of cells—into one place and duct it away? By efficiently cooling the "hot side" of the cells, I could significantly drop the temperature on the "cold side."
This enclosure is specifically designed for a 3-cell Peltier cooling unit (which can be found affordably on eBay or Amazon).
