The delta of 1.3C is critical there - peltier cooling drops precipitously in efficiency as the delta increases, and struggles to hit a COP of even 1 in real world scenarios. Their figure works out at about 6.5% Carnot efficiency, whereas a normal heat pump is usually nearer 45% over a much broader range of temperatures, as you can separate the hot and cold sides completely. Not so with a peltier wafer. What they’ve done here is add a point of failure, use additional materials as well as a traditional heat pump, and called it “AI” and “eco friendly”. Never have I seen more prime VC bait.
