T.E.C overvolting

[blander]

hi@all

i'm a newby of t.e.c-cooling

the swiftec mcw50-t can take a 40x40 tec
it looks, thats the powererfulst t.e.c is a 172w@24v

what happens, if i supply the t.e.c with 28v
does it has better performance?

No, it has worse. And may kill the tec, read the stickies.

Probably get worse temps and you might damage the TEC (although I bet they have some tollerance to overvoltage)

T.E.C's are more efficient at lower voltages. They may not have the same thermal ability, but their power efficiency goes up
