Air Condition
What is a solid state heater cooler ? Is it use in portable coolers /warmers and air condition systems?

Is solid state cooler heater the same device as peltier? Which is use for temperature change in potrable warmers/coolers? Can this technology be employed in a portable air condition unit? If so how does it work? The application and use for this solid state device.

Is it a pair of thermocouples run in reverse.

What is a thermocouple: if you join two dis-similar metals, you get a small voltage. If you get one T/C hot and keep another one cool and connect one lead of each, you will have a simple. solid state, low-efficiency electrical generator when you put an electrical load between the two remaining wires. Putting a bunch in series and in parallel lets you increase the available voltage and amperage.

Such a “thermocouple pile” is used one the Voyager spacecraft. One pile is heated by a nuclear reaction. The cold junction is hanging out in space, radiating heat away. Very simple and very reliable.

But only about 10-15% efficient.

Doing the reverse – apply a voltage to two different thermocouple piles – causes one to get hot and the other to get cold.

Those plug-in solid-state ice-chest/warmers use that effect. They also have a fan to blow heat away from the hot junction. You need an electrical source like line voltage or a cigarette lighter (not batteries!) because it sucks a lot of power for not much effect. It is better at keeping something hot or cold than it is at GETTING something cold. i.e. it would take a LONG time to make ice cubes.

It wouldn’t make a very good air conditioner because the efficiency is so bad. Freon or some other compressible gas in a refridgeration cycle is MUCH more efficient and that pulls a few horsepower. To cool a car with a peltier-effect T/Cs would suck 100 hp or more. What it can do is cool a little volume, like a few beer cans.
