Chilled Water Pipe and a Retrofit Apparatus for Chilling a Water Pipe

Abstract

Disclosed is a water pipe comprising an inner heat sink positioned within a water chamber of the water pipe, an outer heat sink positioned outside the water chamber of the water pipe, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) having a heat absorbing side connected to the inner heat sink and a heat rejecting side connected to the outer heat sink, an electric power source for supplying power to the TEC and a controller configured to adjust power supply from the electric power source to the TEC.

1 . A water pipe comprising:
 a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) having a heat absorbing side facing the inside of a water chamber of said water pipe and a heat rejecting side facing the outside of said water chamber;   an electric power source for supplying power to said TEC; and   a thermometer positioned inside said water chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The water pipe according to  claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to adjust power supply from said electric power source to said TEC. 
     
     
         3 . The water pipe according to  claim 2 , wherein said controller adjusts power to said TEC, based on temperature readings received from said thermometer. 
     
     
         4 . The water pipe according to  claim 3 , wherein said controller initiates or increases power to said TEC, upon one or more temperature reading values surpassing a threshold value. 
     
     
         5 . The water pipe according to  claim 1 , wherein said thermometer is positioned at an upper section of the space of said water chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The water pipe according to  claim 1 , wherein said thermometer is positioned at a bottom section of the space of said water chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The water pipe according to  claim 1 , wherein said water pipe is selected from the group consisting of: a Nargila, a Hookah a Bong and a Pipe. 
     
     
         8 . The water pipe according to  claim 1 , further comprising a user control panel configured to adjust power supply from said electric power source to said TEC. 
     
     
         9 . A water pipe comprising:
 a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) having a heat absorbing side facing the inside of a water chamber of said water pipe and a heat rejecting side facing the outside of said water chamber; and   a hose, having a first side connected to a hose connector of said water chamber and a second side connected to a mouthpiece.   
     
     
         10 . The water pipe according to  claim 9 , wherein said hose connector is positioned at a top section of said water chamber. 
     
     
         11 . The water pipe according to  claim 9 , wherein said hose connector is positioned above the water level in said water chamber. 
     
     
         12 . A water pipe comprising:
 a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) having a heat absorbing side facing the inside of a water chamber of said water pipe and a heat rejecting side facing the outside of said water chamber; and   wherein said heat rejecting side, is oriented to face at a non-vertical direction.   
     
     
         13 . The water pipe according to  claim 12 , wherein said water pipe is selected from the group consisting of: a Nargila, a Hookah a Bong and a Pipe.
