Google is a wonderful thing.

He is looking for a "why" not an explanation of what a pelter is

I was given to understand that the electons traveling from one side to the other conducted the heat, but I am 60% sure that is incorrect

Anyone know for sure?

Well, it looks like I was basicly correct. Check it out :Peltier cooling at Lambchop
