Thermoelectrical cooler modules – Peltier
Materials
Ceramic
Options
micro modules, single stage, multistage, thermal cycle modules, generating modules, reference black body.
Packaging
Bulk or tray
Description
Acting like heat pump it requires the usage of heatsinks to spread the heat pumped.
It might be used actively (by power-suppling the Peltier) or passively (the Peltier supply a voltage depending the heat gap between the two sizes).
For a single stage Peltier module, a continuous voltage can create a temperature difference of 70°C (between the two ceramic sheets).
Advantages:
Reliability
Solid component
No fluid
Temperature precision
Accurate thermal management
Compact
Design assistance: Possibility to supply an assembly with a thermal interface and a heatsink.
