Abstract: The study shows the theoretical determination of a thermoelectric module and heat sinks sizing and it was discovered that for a cooling time of 2 min and a beverage size of 474 mL (16 oz), 6 TEC modules and hence 12 heat sinks (one for each side of the TEC module) were needed. However, by increasing cooling time to 4 min and decreasing beverage size to 325 mL, 4 TEC modules and hence 8 heat sinks could be used.
