hi all, i was given a peltier unit to play with. heres the details for the unit.
Type number: TEC1-12706
Couples: 127
Umax (V): 15.2V
I max (A): 6A
Tmax (degree Celsius): 67
i have fans and heatsinks attached to the hot/cold sides and a 12 volt car battery to power the unit.
what i like to know is if i place a 5 ohm/15 watt linear potentiometer between the unit and battery, would it be sufficient to control the unit's temp safely?
please note that i'm new to electronics. thanks
