- Electric cooling is a new environmentally friendly cooling technology developed for fridges and water coolers.
- Electric cooling does not use refrigerants, which are special chemicals used in the cooling processes.
- Also referred to as thermoelectric cooling, it uses the Peltier effect which uses a cold and hot zone for cooling.
- This system involves a series of semiconductors, where half of them have excess electrons.
- The other half lacks sufficient electrons.
- The semiconductors are paired against each other to form numerous couples.
- Once electricity is applied, a difference in temperature is experienced with one side being cold and the other being hot.
- Heat traditionally moves from hot areas to colder areas.
- Heat leaves the hot side through a heat sink made of aluminum fins.
- These fins pass the heat out into the air creating a cooling effect.
