This article has a good analysis of the situations where that can happen, and gives guidelines for when a peltier cooler is beneficial and when it isn't. | |

However, the TEC moves less heat the greater the difference becomes between the plates, using more power. Thus with the loss of the TEC itself, and it's (significant) power supply, it's probably still not viable. | |
