The structure of thermoelectric modules is generally described as elements of n and p type thermoelectric material sandwiched between two ceramic plates and connected in series. The elements are solid-state, vibration-free, noise-free heat pumps, which move heat from one surface to another when a direct current electricity is applied on it. If the heat at the hot side is dissipated to the ambient environment by a heat sink, this assembly becomes a cooling unit. Not only used for heat transfer, thermoelectric modules are widely used to generate electrical power by converting heat energy to electrical current which allows for waste heat recovery. Many new, promising thermoelectric generating materials have been developed in recent years, contributing significantly in increasing power generation efficiency.

Featuring no moving parts, being small in size and light in weight, the thermoelectric module is widely used in military, medical, industrial, consumer, scientific/laboratory, electro-optic and telecommunications areas for cooling, heating, and power generation..

Description

Air Coolers

Air coolers, sometimes called air-to-air heat exchangers, are the best choice for cooling electrical enclosures and refrigerated cabinets containing objects that can not be easily cooled by direct contact to a cold plate. There may be irregularly shaped components, parts that need freedom to move, or objects that do not have any one good surface from which to remove heat. While not as efficient as the direct contact of a cold plate, air coolers are ideal in these cases because the cooled air adapts to any and all shapes within the cabinet.

 

Capacity Rating:

20 watts to 500 watts at a 0°C temperature difference.
Example Applications:Ideal for small electronic enclosures, small refrigerators and OEM applications.
Features:It is powered by 12 VDC, has a NEMA 12 rating, and can be customized to achieve NEMA 4. Like all of our air coolers, it incorporates extender blocks between the thermoelectric module and the cold sink. These enable the cooler to have un-impeded airflow on the cold side while still allowing for up to 25 mm thick insulation in the walls of the enclosure. Plus, it also improves performance at high temperature differences. Can be used for heating and cooling. This cooler has the lowest power consumption of any of our standard air coolers making it compatible with all of our temperature controllers.
