Thermoelectric Coolers

Description
Summary
Adds a thermoelectric cooler ("TEC") and thermoelectric generator ("TEG") to the game.
The TEC can move heat from one side to the other by consuming power.
The TEG can convert heat on either side into energy.



Details
The buildings are fully configurable in the mod Options menu.
The TEC and TEG buildings require the Low Resistance Conductors research.

The tile that the building occupies is insulated, but not as good as an insulated tile.

The TEC can sustain a temperature difference up to 70 °K while powered.
The building moves heat from the cell with the flat plate to the cell with the tall fins at a linear rate until the maximum temperature difference is reached.

The building will consume power even if the maximum temperature difference is reached, so make sure you're enabling it only when it is needed!

The TEG generates its maximum amount of energy when the temperature difference is at least 70 °K.

Both buildings also will not operate when their coldest side is below 50 °K.

@RadLad, TEGs in real life "deletes" heat as it moves through the semiconductors and converts that energy into electricity. However, the way the game handles power is not realistic enough to "complete the circuit". These TEGs work like generators and delete the heat as long as they're hooked up to a wire, but there doesn't have to be any electric load to delete heat, which is the "broken" OP part.

Honestly, this is the best mod on the workshop.

I was just wondering: I made a block around a cool slush geyser with the teg tiles around it. The outer layer was left exposed to the air, and the inner part has a metal tile layer that these teg tiles are adjacent too (touching). Im deleting a lot of heat, is this expected?

eu usei e nao gostei, nem refriou nada,mesmo colocando muitos.

Great mod! Does the TEG replace your Stirling Engine mod completely or is there a difference that makes both worth having? Is one more efficient/effective than the other?

TEG needs more explanation. How much max heat deleted per second? How much energy it generates at max temperature difference?

@geniusthemaster Can you please link to the specific version you tried and share a crash log on pastebin? (Or share the details on my github issues)

for some very odd reason this mod has a conflict with stats unlimited that i cant see from design or observation, please fix or mark it as such in the commentary thanks :)
