KOOBOOK 1Set 12V Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler Refrigeration Cooling Fan System Heatsink DIY Kit

This has all the parts, minus chip, to build a water cooled peltier system. Most pre-made units come with the 12706 chip (6A). I chose the 12710 chip (10A) for better cooling. This kit was very low cost and worked well. The cooling module runs hot and a good amount of water throughput from the lab sink is a good idea. I used an aquatic pump and ice in a large beaker. I was able to reach around 5 deg C in a 15L insulated chamber with this combination.

Using silicone thermal paste and a peltier and a water pump for a computer and a whole bunch of possibilities appears. Add in a soil moisture sensor to provide plants warm water automation style.

You need to understand that you do NOT get a Peltier module with this kit. The description is a bit misleading, as there is nothing in the kit that is "thermoelectric" and nothing that "refrigerates". What you do get, is a sturdy heat sink, a small 12Vdc fan, a water heat exchange block, a bottom clamp bar, and some basic hardware. You assemble it yourself, with your own heat sink compound. It is suitable for a 12706 sized module. Saves buying all of the parts separately, except of course, the actual module.

This is a good little project to learn how a peltier works. It is not great for any application. I recommend also getting a water pump.

Let me be clear, since the seller isn't. This does not contain a peltier cooling element, this is only the resources to cool one down. I don't think this is a good deal as I could get all the components separate for only twice as much with 4* the yield. Not to mention the fact there is no pump, the heatsink is poorly assembled, and it came in a bag that provided no protection during transit, this the bent fin. no way I could recommend this

Experiment .

I mistakenly thought that this was a cooling device and hardware to mount it.I finally realized that I was wrong. I will keep the hardware and have purchased to cooling/heating devices to use with these. This is a learning experience and I failed lesson one. READ THE DETAILS.

I was excited to get this product, but was quickly disappointed to find out that it does not have the pettier thermocouple…. Which is mentioned in the title, but not in the content..I mean what is the thermal paste for?
