Hey
I know the general principal of electronics.
Voltage (volts) is pushed and Current (amps) is drawn.
But I was wondering is the same principal applies for Peltier devices; otherwise known as TEC's, Thermoelectric Cooler, Thermoelectric Module, Peltier Junction or Peltier Plate etc.
What I was wondering, is if I were to buy one of these; say a 12v 320w device, will it automatically draw the full potential 320w (27 amps (derived for P=IV)) or is there some way to limit them, so as to not draw to their full capacity, say 110w or 50w ??
This way, one could regulate heat etc by varying current, rather then just on/off ??
As I want to use one of these devices for a number of projects, but don’t want to have to carry around a huge power supply, and other reasons
So what I want to know is; can you regulate the current to a peltier cooler??
Thanks guys
