Thermoelectric Cooler

• A thermoelectric (TE) cooler, also known as
  thermoelectric module or Peltier cooler,
  functions as a small heat pump. Applying low
  voltage DC power source to TE module, heat will
  move from one side to the other. One module face
  will be heated simultaneously while the other one
  will be cooled.

Uses

• A thermoelectric module is suitable for
  temperature control applications as it is used
  for both cooling and heating. An example will be
  helpful in order to offer the new user with the
  general concept of thermoelectric coolers
  capabilities.

Example

• In a situation where a single-stage
  thermoelectric was maintained at room temperature
  and then, was placed on a heat sink, and the
  module was either connected with a battery or DC
  power source, then the cold side would cool down
  to -40C approx. The module would be pumping no
  heat at this point.

How it works

• In a freezer area, the refrigerator boils and
  absorbs heat which further causes the freezer to
  become cold. Then, the absorbed heat moves to the
  condenser and transferred to the environment.
• In a thermoelectric cooling system, condenser is
  replaced by finned heat sink, the liquid
  refrigerant is replaced by doped semiconductor,
  and DC power source takes the place of the
  compressor.

About Ferrotec Nord Corporation

• Ferrotec NORD (former SCTB NORD), Specialized
  Constructive Technological Bureau NORD, was
  formed by a group of thermo electricians in
  Moscow in 1991. Since its beginnings SCTB NORD
  has always been able to focus on the manufacture
  of hi-tech products thanks to its high scientific
  potential. Thermoelectric modules, thermoelectric
  generating modules, thermoelectric coolers
  produced by Ferrotec NORD are exported to more
  than 20 countries. For more information please
