The characteristics of TEC technology (Ⅱ)

Although the two cooling systems comply with the same thermal dynamics, a TEC has many obvious advantages: simple structure, small volume, light weight, high reliability, long service lifetime, no noise, small power consumption, low cost and so on. What’s more, there is no need for TECs to fill chemical consumables, which the mechanical cooling method needs. Because of no moving parts, there is no wear and tear for TECs. Thus TEC is an ideal cooling method, which can gradually take the place of the mechanical cooling method when cooling many components (such as CCD).

TEC modules not only have the cooling function, but also have the heat function when the current direction is changed. This characteristic can make TEC control temperature more ideally, heat or cool the media according to the work needs, so it is easy to achieve intelligent temperature control. Studies show that if a thermal management system is established, the precise temperature control（±0.1℃）can be achieved by using TEC modules andone module can both heat and cool.

Our company (ATI) is specialized in designing and manufacturing TECs. We not only have off-the-shelf standard products, but also have custom designed and manufactured ones. We can become your one stop company for designing and building your TEC based on thermal systems.
