thermoelectric is ari or fan cooling

[chuck1rar]

Have been looking around for a wine cooler to act as my summer humidor and found the only supplier of wine coolers really in Japan is Haier from China. They stock only two models here thru Costco and after sending them an email trying to find out if any are thermoelectric got an answer

コストコ品番　535661

ＨＡＩＥＲ　　51本　ＪＱ－Ｆ160Ａ

506ｘ595ｘ1280　58ｋｇ

160Ｌ　ＣＯＯＬＩＮＧ　ＭＥＴＨＯＤ　ＦＡＮ

コストコ品番　522408

ＨＡＩＥＲ　106本　ＪＱ－332Ａ

600Ｘ610Ｘ1850　90ｋｇ

ＣＯＯＬＩＮＧ　ＭＥＴＨＯＤ　ＡＩＲ　ＣＯＯＬＩＮＧ

So am hoping someone knows or might be able to tell me what are the physical difference from looking at a compressor and thermo cooler as am sure am not going to be able to go to the shop and pull it apart and have little faith that if I did would know what I am looking at..

So any guesses which of the above ones would be thermoelectric??

Ahh was thinking the page was encoded in unicode but maybe not..

Anyway the above basically says

Haier 51 bottle JQ-F160A

160l Cooling method Fan

Haier 106 bottle JQ-332A

Cooling method Air Cooling

The US site states which ones are thermo electric but these models are only released in East Asia and no real specifications are given on their site.

Did a google search for both models...

Found pages for both that mention automatic defrosting...which while I'm not ENTIRELY sure...I would believe both would be compressor driven.

I would agree with this. Also, if it mentions anything about refrigerant or coolant, it's a compressor driven unit.
