When running normally, the peltier chip would cool below the dew point and condense moisture on it. That would drip from the bottom of the chip/heat exchanger into a drip pan that would lead outside the box. Every x hours, I'd run the chip in reverse to make sure that it was freezing the condensate. It *should* work, although how well is unknown.>> Karen, Sorry to drip on your parade but single stage peltier chips will only cool about 40 degrees from ambient. So if the outside temperature is much above 70 degrees F. the cool junction will not frost. On the other hand it will cool beer to a perfect drinking temperature.
