Peltier modules or thermoelectric coolers (TEC) operate by transferring heat from one side of the module to the other when electrical power is applied.
Their reliable solid-state construction and precise temperature control have seen them grow in popularity and find uses in many applications. Although all Peltier devices utilize the same general construction, enhancements can be made to impact performance and cycle life.
CUI Devices has taken one such approach with its advanced construction technique called arcTEC structure. This Peltier module construction utilizes three enhancements (thermally conductive resin, high temperature solder, and larger P/N elements) to greatly improve reliability, performance, and lifespan.
The CUI Insights blog post, “arcTEC Structure – Improved Performance and Longer Life in Peltier Modules” breaks down these improvements in greater detail, while providing an overview of Peltier module technology.
