I'm new to this forum and am finding a wealth of knowledge so far.
I got the idea to build a tec chiller from the fridge in the armrest of my recliner. I took it apart and began my education on the peltier effect, lol. So my Alpha design was made from that fridge. It was under-powered (which was expected) but it worked! Anyway, this fridge has one of these type of switches on it that "opens" (turns off) the tec & fan at 36*F, so as not to freeze what's inside. I finally found a website that will sell to us, the public, in small quantities! I am now working on my Beta design which I have high hopes for. I just ordered a few of these switches for testing purposes. I ordered different settings. One will open/turn off at 25*F, one at 34*F, and one at 40*F. They are the most compact type of switch you can find and I'm very excited to bring them to the table here. I hope you guys can make use of them.
My background is a very narrow spectrum of chiller design. I am incorporating the designs I work on on a daily basis to build a chiller for a liquid loop. I'm trying to make it as simple and effective as possible so it can just be added to an existing water loop or even as simple as an all-in-one solution like the corsair H series liquid coolers. I will post my Alpha model pics and my current Beta model pics once I get the Beta done this weekend.
My Alpha design is my avatar...
I also should have mentioned that this switch is a direct contact switch. My design is a tec drawing the heat out of an aluminum box. So I will be mounting the switch on the aluminum box, so when it reaches 34*F it will turn off 1 of 2 tec's. Here's a pic to help explain:
