Yes it is possible. What is the rating on the Pelti?
2 Meanwells in parallel?

I was thinking about going with the 437W Qmax peltier, which I think has a max wattage rating of 875W.
ps: Thanks for the link! Rep+

I'm not even sure what power supplies in series would look like. Can you elaborate? Also, why would you get more power in series?

No problem mate. I think I still have a Meanwell 24V 150W PSU and a cold plate from my Pelti days if you need it.

Apparently you get more voltage in a series, but more amps in a parallel, so would give out the same power, my bad... Not sure which would be more beneficial in this situation though

I assume that connecting power supplies in series would be just plugging them into each other, instead of each one into the circuit.

The two PSU's i'm looking at are 42-43 bucks a piece shipped. Do you mean a larger psu would be more efficient?

You are attaching 2 PSUs to one load so both currents are added together.
You should ensure both supplies are set to the same voltage then the current draw will be shared equally. Differing voltages will cause problems.
There is no reason why you cant parallel PSU's together as Ultrasonic said but you cannot join them in series. At least not without a lot of modding internally.
I hate to say this but I don't think some of you have read hit and run's "Yes it is possible" link. Or possibly you did you didn't understand it.
To do what it said in that link you need specific meanwell supplies (or another brand.) where you can physically set one PSU to constant voltage (or master.) and the other to constant current these are specific modular PSU's designed to be daisy-chained together they are not the usual type of PSU.
