Thanks, for all the replys to my original posting. Some data from a
TEC manufacturer catalog:

With the hot side of the TEC at 27 degrees C: "No-load temperature
differentials range from 67 degrees C for single-stage TECs to over
135 degrees C for multi-stage TECs."

The catalog contains a 1-stage TEC which can give a no-load 67 degree C 
differential @ 14V and 5.3A.  The heat pumping capacity of the unit
is 48 watts. 

They also spec a fan cooled 'cold plate' with a temperature
differential of 38 degrees C @ 12.5V, 8.5A with heat capcity of 60W.
