Abstract
It is possible in a thermoelectric cooling device to obtain significantly reduced cold-junction temperatures, compared to the steady-state values, by utilizing transient conditions. This effect is only temporary, and it might find applications where the aim is to reach the coldest possible temperature with minimum equipment in the shortest time, without need to maintain that temperature once it is reached. A thermoelectric cooling device was built to demonstrate the practicality of the transient effect.
