Email  TEC Integrated Heat SinksThermoelectric coolers (TECs) add some very useful capabilities to the arsenal of a thermal engineer. A thermoelectric cooler (TEC), or Peltier Cooler is a solid-state heat pump that uses the Peltier effect to move heat. By passing a DC current through the device, heat is pumped from one side of the TEC to the other, creating a cold and a hot side of the device.Enertron TEC Heat Sinks
In practical terms, this provides a simple and convenient method of cooling a heat source to a temperature lower than the ambient. This is particularly helpful for applications that have a low maximum temperature, or are used in environments with high ambient temperatures. Another useful feature of thermoelectric coolers is the ability to control the amount of heat that is pumped from the cold side by varying the power supplied to the device. In fact, if the current through the TEC is reversed, the cold side will cease to remove heat from the source, and will add heat to the source. This allows the Thermoelectric Cooler to control the temperature of an object or heat source, even though the environment or object may be in flux. Thermoelectric coolers reject their heat through the hot side of the device. The hot side of the TEC is almost always mounted to a heat sink, heat spreader, or cold plate. The performance of the thermoelectric cooler is largely affected by the heat sink used. Enertron engineers are experienced in designing thermoelectric cooler integrated thermal solutions. If you have an application in which you are considering thermoelectric coolers, please contact an Enertron engineer to discuss your options. Applications:
