430860-505

Thermal - Thermoelectric, Peltier Modules

The 430860-505 Peltier Modules is a thermoelectric component that is often used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. It is used to convert energy between thermal and electrical forms, either to cool or heat a system. This type of device is often found in industrial or laboratory applications such as cryogenics, cryogenic seals, as well as for high-precision cooling and low temperature range applications.

The 430860-505’s design is based on a thermoelectric principle called the Peltier effect, which is the ability of a material to produce a thermoelectric current when exposed to a temperature difference. This effect was first discovered by French physicist Jean Peltier in 1834. The principle is based on the fact that when two dissimilar materials are exposed to a temperature difference, a thermoelectric current is generated between them.

The 430860-505 Peltier Modules consists of two dissimilar materials, typically semiconductor materials such as P-type and N-type silicon, sandwiched between two ceramic plates. When a current is passed through the module, the semiconductors create an electric potential across the junction, allowing electricity to flow in one direction and heat to flow in the other direction. This enables the module to act as a heat engine, exchanging heat between the two surfaces.

When the 430860-505 is in operation, one side will become hot and the other side will become cold. This is because the heat energy that is generated on the hot side is transferred to the cold side, allowing for cooling on one side while heating on the other. The temperature differential that is created between the hot and cold sides can then be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as cooling electronics, heating food, or controlling temperatures in a gas or liquid.

The 430860-505 Peltier Modules is designed to operate over a wide range of temperatures, from -20°C to +80°C, making it suitable for applications that require precise temperature control. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, including cryogenics, heating and cooling of liquids, temperature control of electronic components, and medical equipment.
