Single beverage container thermo electric cooler

Abstract

Provided are active thermo electric cooling apparatus for self-contained portable cooling or heating of a single beverage container.

1 . A thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage, comprising:
 one or more TEC chips with a cold side in thermally conductive communication with a beverage container envelope and a TEC hot side in thermally conductive communication with a hot side radiator, with the hot side radiator heat removed/controlled by a fan expelling ambient air, the TEC chips further controlled by a controller unit operatively attached to a battery, the controller unit further comprising a fixed or variable temperature setting for modulating the current flow from the battery to the TEC chips. 
 
     
     
         2 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container may be any shape container. 
     
     
         3 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 2 , further comprising a removable top, lid, made of any material. 
     
     
         4 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container is separated from the battery pack and the beverage container is powered by an external battery 
     
     
         5 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container is powered by a dc power source. 
     
     
         6 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the controller unit is a simple electric circuit. 
     
     
         7 . The thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage being cooled is medicine, 
     
     
         8 . A thermal electric cooling (“TEC”) system for cooling a single beverage, comprising:
 one or more TEC chips with a cold side in thermally conductive communication with a beverage container envelope and a TEC hot side in thermally conductive communication with a hot side radiator, the TEC chips further controlled by a controller unit operatively attached to a battery, the controller unit further comprising a fixed or variable temperature setting for modulating the current flow from the battery to the TEC chips. 
 
     
     
         9 . A thermal electric heating (“TEC”) system for heating a single beverage, comprising:
 one or more TEC chips with a hot side in thermally conductive communication with a beverage container envelope and a TEC cold side in thermally conductive communication with a cold side radiator, with the cold side radiator controlled by a fan expelling ambient air, the TEC chips further controlled by a controller unit operatively attached to a battery, the controller unit further comprising a fixed or variable temperature setting for modulating the current flow from the battery to the TEC chips.
