Description:
The TEC1-12712 40x40mm Thermoelectric Cooler 12A Peltier Module offers a fascinating and practical demonstration of the Peltier Thermoelectric Effect. This compact module, measuring 40mm x 40mm, houses 127 meticulously arranged semiconductor couples, enabling it to efficiently cool or heat objects up to a substantial 80°C. This dual functionality makes it incredibly versatile for a range of applications.
Thermoelectric coolers, also commonly known as TECs or Peltier Modules, operate by creating a temperature difference between their two sides. When a current is applied, one side of the module becomes noticeably hot, while the opposite side simultaneously cools down. This characteristic allows them to be used for targeted heating or cooling, simply by utilizing the appropriate side. Furthermore, the temperature differential can even be harnessed to generate small amounts of electricity, opening up possibilities for energy harvesting.
