That is some powerful cooling, I see you used a Peltier module and a huge heatsink with two fans. However, it's a bit too powerful. Because it reaches a temperature of -2.5 degrees Celsius, your drinks and snacks will freeze. You need to use something to regulate the cooling, like a microcontroller that switches the module off after the desired temperature is achieved and then back on when the temperature rises too high. Worth noting is that the hysteresis needs to be high enough to not make a oscillator. A good idea is to buy a thermostat kit or a pre-made thermostat that can handle low temperatures well. This way no microcontroller ia needed.
Depends on where the temp probe is. If it is stuck to a metal sheet, it will show how cold that sheet is, but not the air around the objects in the fridge.
Wonderfully made. Nice engineering. Before anyone gets too excited about using Peltier modules for cooling do some research on not only their capacity for cooling, but also their efficiency levels... You will be disappointed. Regarding 'keeping' things cool these little refrigerators work ok (still high power consumption for the cooling), for bringing room temperature cans of soda down to cool temperatures, ahh, not so practical. I don't consider these products to measure up to anything near what I would call 'green'.. They consume a lot of energy and provide small cooling benefit. Again, don't believe me, do your own research.
Indeed! Therefore the huge heat sink on the hot side. Not "green" really, but fascinating nevertheless! Big bonus is the fact that it can run on 12v power, but a battery of that size probably won't last a very long time...
So true, it seems that there's an idea floating around that 'portable' (not plugged in) is somehow 'green'.. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Eventually the battery will have to be recharged, or replaced. There are energy losses in charging a battery aside from what was used. There's no free power. A better definition of green is something that is either more energy efficient than the old standard device, or runs alone on renewable energy, I.E. Solar, wind. These Peltier models have an efficiency of below 10%.. That's very poor, more like 'anti-green'.
As far as a refrigeration system I would have to go with some type of efficient vapor compression system perhaps using NH3 as a refrigerant, but really, to be practical for a portable way of keeping 6-10 cans cold I would go with a quality (well insulated) ice chest. It's still one of the most practical ways of keeping food and drinks cold and sometimes for days on end and yet be portable. I really don't see a powered system that practical for hauling around unless it's in some kind of camper or trailer where you can carry the weight along with a battery bank, or generator, or propane tank (some fridges will run on propane as well), and in some cases have solar panels for supplementing power. The modern efficient vapor systems are going to be more energy efficient than Peltier per unit of cooling as well as providing far more cooling capacity.
You made some first rate points there. I regarded on the youtube for the difficulty and located most people will go together with together with your video.
Pretty compact design, and it has the capability to freeze to such low temperature, so it's great for things that need to freeze like ice-cream, but i think it should have a bit more space in it. I like it overall though, it's really cool (no pun intended)
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Hudson Marcus thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Hey Open Green Energy, i have a question, because i want to build this refrigirator larger in a ~30 liter garbage can. for this i will use 4-6 Refrigerator Radiator and i dont know if that is enaugh cooling power. My 2nd problem is that a friend told me, that i need for every radiator an transformer, is that right? and my final question is, because i dont how to program for what i need Microcontroller Board and Relay Module. Greetings Nick

hi,,,,, just bought a used 40 quart igloo mini fridge but it wont go below 17c (60 degree f ) and idea what the problem could be ?......has no visible temp control switch
if I could make a few suggestions, cut holes and use fan grills instead? not to bash your drilling skills but it seems like an airflow killer, also using hot glue seems like a bad idea in a heated environment
Great work! I'd love to know what is the maximum current, voltage, heat load and temperature difference between the cold side and the heat sink for the thermoelectric cooler module! Please and thanks!
hey!!! Can i ask something??? . Is 9Volts/ or 5Volts is though enough for Peltier module for cooling??? Does it still work to cool something like, water, soda etc.?
5 definently not. Do it with 12. The most important thing is that you have enough current on your power supply and cooling capacity for your setup though.
@@nogheelucido9518 depends on the wattage of your paltier device, you'd be working with 24W, most are optimized to work with around 60W (the 4x4cm at least ) so 4~4.5 amps is your sweet spot, then again, you will only take advantage of this if you can cool your Peltier tiles fast enough. it works with temperature differentials, so in the best case you can get a temperature differential of 67 degrees, so if you want sub-zero temperatures is advised you don't get them anywhere above 50 degrees Celcius. If you get them to stay under 40 on your system you will probably get great performance
@@nogheelucido9518 i would advise you to check the documentation page of the component to get a feel of how much she can handle. hope it helps, and good luck on your project

can i ask again??? What if i will connect my peltier module TEC1-12706 to 12Volts with only 5amps? does it still work for cooling effect and make ICE??
In this refrigerator, do you have a problem Whit condensation?
I tried it and it actually worked😁😁 . if I play games at PC I have the mini fridge with me anytime!
yea dude!

+IIGrayfoxII You are right.The air temp is slightly hotter than the plate.
you can control the temperature by increasing the volume to store things a good temperature for food for a college guy could be 3-6°C
Open Green Energy bro I want to buy this because I can't make it will u PLZZ tell me if u want
its very difficut to send to india for me..

What would you recommend to use instead of this Peltier module, to make a slightly bigger mini fridge? Lets say 6 - 10 cans

We need a sustainable hot glue and foam nowadays. lol
You made some first rate points there. I regarded on the youtube for the difficulty and located most people will go together with together with your video.
whats the temperature of the hot side of your peltier here? and what is the voltage applied to the module?
By far, the best and most beautiful refrigerator I've seen.

Hi ,i am new to your channel i love your video ❤
Thank you so much
Its a good idea, but I hate when there is no audio on a tutorial. Not everyone is a visual learner.
Joshua Helt He also didn't show how he assemblied the cooling part, you have to attach heatsinks to both sides of peltier and apply thermal paste.
Joshua Helt Maybe he hates to reveal his sounds. But he did a good description on instructables. You'll get link to it in description
zioxei err🚝
Look at the discription
do you have to use the relay and auduino mini and relay, or can you have it on all the time?
Sweet nice job man can I use this in my car to keep my beer cold. JK:þ
amazing project,
Подскажите, что у него за паяльник?
Tell me, what's with the soldering iron?

great project have you used with code .can you help me with circuit and code please
+Phea Chhim The code is given in the link in video description.
my peltier is not work truly. its hot side is monstrous hot but cold side is not cold enough. do you have an idea for that??
How large is your heatsink and is it cooled by an fan?
How much Amps and volts did it use ?
Or i should say , how many watts ?
+WillyDeltaSquad 12v and 6A
Owh 72 watts
actually we want to do it for a try
guys can I build by thermocol
muito muito muito LEGO mesmo este video è muito bom mesmo
It only carries 2 cans which I think is pretty useless but awesome :)
Rank Xero He made it too small, it shouldn't go down to -2.5°C, you can get a higher temperature by making the fridge bigger.
you are so smart
