First time power up and test of my Arduino controlled can cooler.
The Cooler Uses 4 Peltier Modules, A custom machined cooling block and A custom water loop to remove the heat.
It has a 4.3″ Touchscreen Interface to select Temp and display Temps of the cooling block, Can, The hot side of the 4 Peltiers and Cooling Progress.
Cools a 330ml can from 19 to 1C in approx 10 minutes (Quicker if the block is already cool).
The cooler draws approx 360W (varies slightly with temperature variations).
This is just a test so there are a few bugs/ glitches in the programming in the video. Most have been fixed since recording.
All the components are mounted on my old Litecoin mining rig, Eventually i want to build the cooler into a PC case To provide better protection to the components and make the unit more portable.
The cooling block will reach Temps approx 30C cooler than room temperature with no thermal insulation around the block.
Thanks For Watching
