Abstract:
A water chilling system for chilling a supply of water within a storage reservoir of a water cooler or the like, said system comprising:a thermoelectric heat transfer module having a hot side and a cold side, and means for transferring thermal energy from said cold side to said hot side;means for mounting said module with said cold side in thermal communication with a supply of water within a reservoir;a manifold mounted over said module and defining a heat transfer chamber having a fluid heat transfer medium therein in direct contact with said hot side of said module, said manifold further including a plurality of outwardly projecting fin elements; andmeans within said heat transfer chamber for circulating the fluid heat transfer medium along a closed loop path against said hot side of said module and further into heat exchange relation with said fin elements whereby heat energy from said module hot side is transferred by the fluid heat transfer medium to said fin elements.
