Energy Savings

The Peltier cooler acts similar to a heat engine, therefore the efficiency is maximized with a high tempurature differential. As the heat source increases in temperature, more voltage is provided by the cooler to the small electric motor. Airflow is increased drastically causing improved convection and more even heating. While the efficiency of the Eco-fan itself depends on an ouptut versus input energy ratio, it is important to keep in mind that no additional energy is required to power the fan. Since the Eco-fan operates on the heat already being provided, there is benefit at no additional operation cost. This being the case, less fuel is required to do the same amount of heating in shorter amount of time. While, depending on brand, an Eco-fan unit may cost anywhere from $50 - $150 this cost can quickly be made back in fuel savings and then begin to save you money on heating costs.
