Showing Results For: Peltier Modules
Peltier modules, also called thermoelectric coolers or thermoelectric modules, are solid-state electronic devices that are used to cool or heat objects at specific temperatures. These modules use the Peltier effect to create a temperature difference across the module when an electric current flows through it. A Peltier module is known for its compact size, reliability, longevity, safety, and ease of installation. Thermoelectric Peltier modules provide more reliable thermal solutions as compared to traditional heatsinks and fans. In addition, thermoelectric modules ensure effective heat dissipation and maintain optimum temperatures without damaging the module or the surrounding environment.
Thermoelectric Peltier modules are significant in managing thermal issues in various circuits and offer unique features and benefits, such as:
Peltier modules are typically composed of two different types of semiconductor materials with varying electron conductivity. The most common materials used are Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys–known for their excellent thermoelectric properties.
The size choice depends on the specific application's cooling or heating requirements. Thermoelectric Peltier modules come in various sizes, determined by their number of "couples." These electronic devices come in small, low-power modules with a few couples to larger and more powerful modules with hundreds of couples.
Selecting the best Peltier modules involves considering various factors to ensure they meet your specific requirements. Some key factors to consider when selecting Peltier modules include:
Thermoelectric coolers find applications in various systems and devices in a broad range of settings, including:
