Abstract
A combination bottle warmer and cooler device can include a thermally conductive medium plate in thermal contact with a thermoelectric module. Liquid can be brought into thermal contact with the medium plate. A temperature sensor can sense the temperature of the medium plate. A controller can receive the temperature readings of the sensor and apply a voltage differential to the thermoelectric module in order to warm or cool the liquid.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing enclosing a thermally conductive medium, a thermoelectric module, a temperature sensor and a controller,
- the thermoelectric module thermally coupled to the medium, wherein the thermoelectric module has a medium-side in thermal contact with the medium and an ambient-side, opposite the medium-side, wherein applying a voltage differential to the sides of the thermoelectric module generates a temperature difference between the sides;
- the temperature sensor attached to the medium;
- and
- the controller configured to receive a temperature of the medium from the temperature sensor and modulate a voltage applied to the thermoelectric module based on a target temperature of the medium,
- wherein the housing is removably attachable to a liquid reservoir and attaching the housing to the reservoir thermally exposes the liquid to the medium.
