UNPREDICTABLE
Hey there,
i have bought 2 tec-12706 peltier cooling module to use in a cooling project
previously i thought that i will use them with smps 12v rail but after some experiment i found that they are consuming 2.5A and 3A at 12v means much lower than their rated 6A ( tec12706 ) and thus cooling effect is very low than expected ( 30w instead of 92w )
i found that they will need 15v to run at full performance
Q. so i want to know that is there any cheap (under Rs1000) way to convert 12v dc of a computer smps ( with 36A capacity on 12v ) to 15v dc with atleast 12A, some kind of VRM circuit which i can make by self or can buy from market.
( i don't have knowledge of IC's or transistors, though i have practical knowledge about diode resistor capacitor transformer and simple things things like that )
Q. or if not then is there any adapter which can give 15v with 12A out under Rs1500. Something like universal laptop adapter (but i don't know how they adjust voltage output, will it be able handle 24x7 runtime in summer, and is there any available in my budget)
buying transformer isn't an option i think because they will be heavy, take more place, and will be very less efficient than adapter and smps
