Experimental Investigations Into the Speed of Thermoelectric Beverage Coolers With Wet Contact

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics volume 94, pages 118–126 (2021)Cite this article

The structure of a novel table thermoelectric cooler with wet contact, i.e., with a water-filled gap between the container with a beverage and the cooler chamber, has been presented. The test bed and the procedure of tests and their results have been described. Technical advantages of the novel cooler have been shown, in particular, the increase in its speed, which amounted to 15 to 65%. The effect of acceleration of the cooling of the beverage due to the activation of the second mechanism of heat exchange, i.e., natural convection, has been found and described.
