Default Re: Multiple Lower Pelts vs. 1 Higher Power Pelt?

Nope I have a real objective. I want to use it as an air conditiong system, but need to know what's more effective, mutiple lower power pelts, or a single higher power.
There really won't be any load on the cold side of the peltiers, besides the ambient temperature, which is usually about 27-30C around here in Hawaii.
I see plenty of pictures of people lifting up the pelt, attached to a cold plate and it gets all icy. What I never see is people using a multiple peltier setup. I've seen the professional made industrial setups using multiple peltiers, but they use some major heavy duty stuff and it's well over $1000 and incredibly big.
I'm assuming that the multiple pelt setup would work better because of that reason too. If using a single super high power pelt would work better, I think that the companies would have used that method. But I'm not sure if that applies to smaller and less powerful setups.
That's why I really need help on this before I spend more money than I have to on this project.
