Thermal - Thermoelectric, Peltier Modules

The XLT3-4-01LS is a thermoelectric, Peltier module. This type of thermoelectric module enables the conversion of electricity into heat and vice versa. It works based on the principle of the Peltier effect, where a current is passed through a hot junction on a semiconductor material. The module works by converting the current into a voltage gradient, which induces a heat flux thereby cooling one junction of the device and heating the other. This type of module is widely used in high end applications such as refrigeration, heat pumps and other temperature control systems.

Application Field

The XLT3-4-01LS module can be used in a variety of temperature control systems and applications including refrigeration systems, hot/cold air pumps, fan conditioners etc. Furthermore, the module can be used for thermoelectric cooling or heating of electronics used in applications such as power electronics, processors, transistors etc. Additionally, the module can be used for thermoelectric generation of electricity, heat to power conversion, and other thermal processes.

Working Principle

The XLT3-4-01LS Peltier module functions by passing current through two junctions on a semiconductor material. This causes a voltage gradient to be induced between the junctions, which in turn induces a heat flux. This heat flux is what causes one side of the device to be cooled, while the other side is heated. This type of thermoelectric cooling is known as the Peltier effect, and is the basis for the operation of the module.

In general, the working principle of the XLT3-4-01LS is quite simple. By supplying a current, the module will cool one side while heating the other. Since the temperature difference is controlled by the current supplied, this type of module can be used to regulate the temperature of a variety of objects. Moreover, the module can also be used to generate electricity through thermoelectric generation which makes it a versatile module for all sorts of applications and processes.
