Peltier's suck a LOT of current. But if you need one they may work. You
can stack them if you can get rid of enough heat. Transfer to and from
the device require very flat and conductive (heat) surfaces.

How much heat are you trying to move? What are the container materials?
Copper and Aluminum transfer heat pretty good. Other than that it just
won't work very well. Your looking at 6-10 Amps at 12v just for one
small module.

I have a few if you need some to play with.

Does anyone know how to spec the cooling capacity of a Peltier??



I thinking about alternative methods to chill (or heat) the oxidizer.
