Since, in the past we have explained how the peltier cell works, we cannot now describe the whole process in detail. It is sufficient to say that Peltier's cell is made up of two plates of clay, separated by semiconductors. By rotating the vertical force between both plates, a physical effect is achieved, which causes one of the plates to burn. At the same time when a separate plate is cool. Since this method of cooling is independent of the available heat. You can get very low temperatures with it.
Entering a Peltier cell is not easy
Installing a Peltier cell in your processor should pay attention to much terms:
- Since the cooling capacity of this type of system varies with the rate of current flow of its conductors, you will need a the current controller.
- Peltier cells have efficiency the lowest Between 2 or 3%.
- He the heat the contents of the hot plate should also be removed.
- As the cell can reach temperatures below room temperature restoration It is dangerous.
We'll assume you've found the power controller, to put the power in the cell. The next thing to do is put this on IHS of the processor, so that the cold side can communicate with it.
Earlier, we should have used the application hot paste, both on the IHS processor, and on the hot side of the cell. Because, on the hot side we have to put a heatsink or block of water to cool it. In fact, it is far more effective to do it with a block of water (and a fluid-related cooling cycle) than using an air heatsink.
Now we have to secure the heatsink to the mother In this case, the original anchor system of the heatsink may not use it. As it is not intended to address the additional range that represents the Peltier cell. Ideally for this reason we have commented on the water block. Since its anchor systems have better tolerance and can deal with the cell.
All this trauma?
There is an easy way to use the TEC cooling (Thermo Electric Cooling) within our program. And to use a heatsink that already incorporates this type of cell into its design. These types of heatsinks are called «Hybrids».
For this type of heatsinks, cell interacts with the cold domain. And they usually have their own thermal insulation pipes that are produced on the hot plate of the cell.
Another method used is to place a Peltier cell inside a AIO system. The CoolIT brand was famous for its manufactured machines. We ourselves had the opportunity to test out one of their programs (ColIT FreeZone Elite) and were impressed with its hot performance.
However, the heatsinks used by the cells are usually reduced temperatures of processors. Not the opposite of what is achieved with a good heatsink.
In the end, Peltier's cells mean nothing more than a curiosity of interested. But they are not worth it. And this is illustrated because technology has never had a big place in the DIY market.
