Thermal - Thermoelectric, Peltier Modules - 387001837 application field and working principle

Thermoelectric modules are specialized electronic components composed of two or moreType N and P semiconductor layers which are sandwiched between two ceramic insulators. When two types of polarities are exposed to current, a voltage difference arises which produces a heating (or cooling) effect on the device’s surface.

The 387001837 Peltier module is one such thermoelectric device. It is composed of a ceramic material that contains 68 Type N and 68 Type P semiconductor elements. The modules typically have a dimension of 106.3mmx48.3mm x 2.8mm and have thermal resistances of 12 K/W at each side of the module, allowing for efficient thermal management due to the high temperature differences it can handle. They offer a wide operational temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and have an electrical power ratingof 28.3 W, a thermal conductivityof 1.3 W/m-K, which provides a higher temperature difference compared to older models, allowing for more efficient cooling of electronic components.

The 387001837 Peltier module operates on a variety of materials including silicon, aluminum, copper, and germanium, as well as other thermoelectric materials. It has several different application fields where it is used, such as cooling power electronics, cooling LED lights, and temperature control of medical instrument systems. It is also used in precision temperature control systems, electronic refrigerators, and HVAC systems.

It works on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which is the phenomenon of temperature difference between two points on an electric circuit resulting in an electric voltage. When there is an electric current passing through the semiconductor materials, the voltage difference between the two sides generates a heat absorption or heat release effect. That is, when current is applied to both sides, the heat will move from one side to the other, which is known as the Peltier effect.

The 387001837 Peltier module has an improved thermoelectric module design that allows for higher temperature differentials and higher cooling efficiencies. This makes it a suitable choice for applications that require precision cooling and temperature control. It is also a cost-effective solution for applications where cooling of electronic components is required.

In conclusion, the 387001837 Peltier module is a thermoelectric device used for cooling power electronics, LED lights, medical instrument systems, precision temperature control systems, HVAC systems, and refrigerators. It operates on the Seebeck effect principle and its improved design and efficiency, make it an excellent choice for applications that require precision cooling of electronic components.
