Just like your Fridge or Freezer, Insulation is VERY IMPORTANT.
And Peltier Modules are Very Low Efficiency, compared to compressor types of refrigeration.
I would recommend at LEAST 1 or 2 inches of Styrofoam over ALL Exterior Surfaces.
Try it your way and you will find it Does Not work very good.
You Might get 5 degrees lower.
And If you fan does Not keep the Hot Side COOL, than the Cold side will Get WARMER
No argument on the efficiency. A marketable product is not the objective. Just curiosity of duplicating a system I saw in the works before. It was a kilowatt size RF generator for an aircraft application previously cooled by CO2. It had a high failure rate. The next generation used a Peltier junction in a liquid. It felt like liquid silicone but I didn't get a chance to ask about it at the time. Failure problems solved. It must be more effective than air cooling, even if it is cO2. or something.
