Building a mini battery operated refrigeration system
Building a mini battery operated refrigeration system
(OP)
I would like information on mini compressors, expansion valves and any additional components that are contained in a refrigeration system/air conditioner. I'd like an idea where I can purchase these items also. ie McMaster-Carr
Also, whats the easiest way to convert the 110V requirement on the compressor to battery powered?

To convert from 110 to DC, you need to switch motors, or add an alternator (not a good idea).
I like Paula's May 17th reply.

Cost is the reason you don't see these things for sale in Walgreens. The thermo coolers (about 33qt) run you about $150.
Until NORD becomes cheaper (10 years ago it was about $150 for a chip), you won't see much commercial application.
Maybe you could discover a cheaper metal junction with a higher TE transfer and sell it to us!
