It's a 545 watt peltier cooler that claims it can operate 0-16 volts and 0-32 amps. Has anyone actually tried this because I am very low on time and need to know how far I can push it without it blowing out. Also I'd like to know what kind of differential I can get from one. Currently I am using two peltier plates (side by side) with 12 volts and 18 amps in a series circuit with a heat sink running under it and I can get the temperature down to about 28 farenheit. If I were to add two more plates, one under each of the two existing ones, and add 12 more volts and 18 more amps in series (or in parellel if it's recomended), should I expect a major drop in the temperature? I need it very cold (-15 farenheit). Anybody have any answers or solutions; I am a noob in desperate need.
