Mask cooling
Introduction
This wiki page will contain a study of the different possibilities of cooling the UV-mask.
Requirements
- Heat removal: xx W/min
- Low profile
- Power consumption
- Noise level
- Integratable in a mask
- Robust

Peltier elements
-
Razer phone cooler chroma
- Peltier element with fan. Originally to cool down a mobile phone (Dec.2021)
Fan types
-
Aeronest - A ventilation kit for your Covid mask (Dec.2021)
-
- Very small but likely not enough flow.
-
- Quite a few different types
- E.g. Delta Electronics BFB04512HHA-DV52, 45 x 10.3mm
- Blows quite nicely even through a long tube. PWM speed control. 36 dBA which is not super-loud but still quite noticeable at full speed.
-
SEPA HY_45T05A-830 Fan Blower, Radial, 5 VDC, 45 mm, 5 mm, 38 l/min
- They are thinner but shift nearly as much air albeit with a lower static pressure. They are also quieter (27 dBA). The advantage is they are 5V. Also PWM control.
