Description:
Thermoelectric coolers, also known as TECs or Peltier modules, function by creating a temperature differential across their two sides. When an electrical current is applied, one side of the module becomes cold while the opposite side becomes hot. This inherent characteristic makes TECs incredibly versatile, as they can be used for both heating and cooling purposes, simply by selecting which side to utilize. Furthermore, this temperature difference can even be harnessed to generate a small electrical current, opening up possibilities for energy recovery.
The TEC1-12704 40x40mm Thermoelectric Cooler 4A Peltier Module is a compact and efficient device that utilizes the Peltier-Seebeck effect to generate a temperature difference. This module, measuring 40mm x 40mm, contains 127 precisely arranged semiconductor couples. These couples are the core components that enable the module to effectively cool and heat, reaching temperatures up to 70°C.
