How do Peltier Coolers, or Thermoelectric coolers (TEC), work and how do you choose one for electronics cooling?
Thermoelectric coolers (TEC) are interesting devices. Also known as a Peltier device, due to their being invented by French physicist Jean-Charles-Athanase Peltier. A TEC can use alot of energy but when you need significant cooling, a TEC is a good solution. We have some resources for you to assist you in how to use them:First, we have a white paper from Qpedia Thermal eMagazine on “How to Select a Peltier Cooler for Cooling or Heating Electronics” at this link on our web site: How to choose a Thermoelectric Cooler.
Second up is a video on what a TEC is. Below is a link to a 2-minute video on our YouTube Channel that gives a quick tutorial on what a TEC is and how they operate.
