430040-508

Thermal - Thermoelectric, Peltier Modules – also known as thermoelectric coolers (TEC) – are devices that use the application of Peltier Effect to transfer heat from one side to another. The Peltier Effect, discovered in the 1820s by French physicist Jean Peltier, is a phenomenon in which electric current is used to transfer the heat from one side of a junction to the other. Thermal-Thermoelectric, Peltier Modules use Peltier Effect to transfer heat from one side of their surface to the surface on the opposite side, which is why they are sometimes called “heat pumps”.

The 430040-508 Peltier Module, manufactured by TE Technology, is a thermoelectric module with remarkable capabilities, specially designed for cooling large volumes of air and liquids. It is composed of two single-sided blocks, one made of aluminum and the other made of copper, both with nine thermoelectric (TE) couples of heavy wall construction.

The 430040-508 Peltier Module can be used for both cooling and heating applications. When operating as a cooler, electric current is used to transfer heat from the copper side to the aluminum side. As a heater, the current transfers heat from the aluminum side to the copper side. Depending on the requirements of the application, specific parameters such as voltage, voltage drop, current, power, or resistance can be adjusted to increase cooling power.

The 430040-508 Peltier Module has several advantages over more traditional cooling techniques, such as air and refrigeration. It is highly efficient, with a low power draw and no moving parts required for cooling. It also has a wide range of uses, such as cooling medical and laboratory instruments, creating mini-cooling and heating systems, or keeping industrial processes stable. Additionally, Peltier coolers have a high heat transfer coefficient, allowing them to dissipate large amounts of heat quickly and efficiently.

The 430040-508 Peltier Module is easily installed with conventional cooling techniques and systems, such as a fans and a heat sink, for maximum cooling power. Installation requires a controlled electrical source and a suitable substrate where the device can be properly mounted. The electrical source should be regulated and power should not exceed the recommended rated power of the Peltier Module or the TE couples will fail. The speed of the cooling or heating process depends on the size and shape of the substrate; the larger the surface area, the faster the temperature change.

The 430040-508 Peltier Module is a reliable and efficient thermal-thermoelectric tech device designed to meet the cooling needs of many industrial and commercial applications. Its performance capabilities and durability make it a great choice for those who require high-powered cooling in a compact package.
