RE: Fridge for the AV room ?



Title: RE: [ukha_d] Fridge for the AV room ?

I used to have a small "drinks" fridge that used a heat pump (not Peltier) and it was totally silent.  It had a heating coil 'round the back of the fridge to get the coolant moving and worked very well for years.  Then it sprung a leak and lost all it's coolant - what a smell!

As for the scan model, this heats as well as cools.  The only single technology that can do this is Peltier (which also accounts for the high power consumption and the fact it runs from 12V) and (not saying there isn't any) but I have never seen a Peltier Heat Pump fridge / cool-box that doesn't use a fan - them 48 watts (plus the heat taken out of the inside of the fridge) have got to go somewhere... :o)

I know a guy who does pub refurbishments, and "acquired" a fridge from him
that the brewery didn't like cause it didn't have a light.  It sits in the
corner of my lounge and is SILENT.  It is my understanding that these type
of fridges are silent due to being designed for pubs where there are 4 or 5
of these behind the bar.  Could become V annoying if not!

These work on the Peltier Heat Pump principal and are always fitted with a
fan - one side of heat pump gets cool (the side inside the fridge), other
side of heat pump gets hot.  The cooler you can keep the "Hot" side, the
colder the "cold" side will be (as the text says - 20 C difference between
hot and cold sides) - hence the fan.

A friend has got a similar fridge running in the far corner of their lounge,
and it's a darn site noisier than a TiVo - more like having a PC running
constantly...

Good price, though.
