In general, the following applies for the cooling:
Decreasing the temperature of the coolant will result in
lower final temperatures and higher cooling rates (the
final temperature will be reached faster).
Increasing the flow through volume will result in lower
final temperatures and higher cooling rates.
Example:
With a preset temperature of 20C at the Thermo Fisher
Scientific Haake circulator DC50--K20, the Peltier system will
reach max. cooling rates up to 1 K/s and a final temperature
of 0C. Starting at +20C the final temperature of 0C will
be reached after about 6 minutes.
For a given ambient or room temperature there is a low-
est temperature which can be reached. This is usually
about 0C.
lower temperature values can be realized if the loss of
cooling capacity is reduced by insulation.
