Default hidden treasure! peltier found on P133 chip

i found a peltier running on a P133 chip.
it was thermal epoxied to a heatsink, the fan it was connected with was of brand "enertron" who make TEC integrated heatsinks.

i looked up the datasheet for thermal epoxy and saw it could operate at 130C only, and i know slder melts at about 200-300C

so i blowtorched it while twisting it, and got it off the heatsink...
chipped the edges of it, but it survived
still works


it was hooked up to the 5v line...
any idea what wattage it might be and what its maximum voltage could be?

i emailed enertron, but i doubt they are gonna provide me with any usefull info :/

still quite a score..
can anyone think of a use for a super low power peltier?
