Temperature-controlled bowl

A temperature-controlled bowl comprising:

• a) a housing assembly comprising:
• i) a housing having an upper surface and defining a first sub-chamber, a second sub-chamber, and a third sub-chamber, wherein the housing comprises a first partition that separates the first sub-chamber from the second sub-chamber, a second partition that separates the second sub-chamber from the third sub-chamber, and a perimeter wall that defines a plurality of exhaust vents in fluid communication with the second sub-chamber and a plurality of intake vents in fluid communication with the third sub-chamber;
• ii) a conductive liner supported by the housing, the conductive liner comprising a liner wall connected to a liner base, wherein the conductive liner is positioned in the first sub-chamber of the housing;
• iii) insulation positioned within the first sub-chamber of the housing, wherein the insulation comprises an insulation wall that surrounds an outer perimeter of the liner wall of the conductive liner and an insulation base that sits adjacent to the liner base of the conductive liner, the insulation base defining a insulation opening;
• iv) a bowl insert configured to sit at least partly on the conductive liner;
• and
• v) a cap positioned between the upper surface of the housing and a rim of the bowl insert,
• b) a cooling system positioned in the first and second sub-chambers of the housing, the cooling system comprising:
• i) a conduction block positioned in the insulation opening of the insulation of the housing assembly, wherein the conduction block is thermally coupled to the conductive liner of the housing assembly;
• ii) a heat sink positioned in the second sub-chamber of the housing assembly housing;
• iii) a thermoelectric module positioned in a first partition opening defined by the first partition of the housing assembly housing, wherein the thermoelectric module is thermally coupled on a first side to the heat sink and on a second side to the conduction block;
• and
• iv) a fan positioned in the second sub-chamber of the housing assembly housing adjacent to the heat sink, wherein the fan is in fluid communication with the plurality of exhaust vents defined by the housing wall of the housing assembly housing and the third sub-chamber through a second partition opening defined by the second partition of the housing assembly housing;
• and
• c) a control system comprising a switch in electrical communication with the thermoelectric module and the fan of the cooling system to the power source.
