COSMETIC TREATMENT
PROBLEM: Photofacial treatments using intense pulsed
light are said to remove spider veins and age spots, but
are uncomfortable for the patient.
SOLUTION: The apparatus shown uses a TECA
Model TLC700 recirculating liquid chiller to cool the
tip of the hand piece which rests on the skin area
under treatment. This enhances the comfort of the
patient; allowing for a better quality treatment. The
chiller is a closed loop system so no water gets on the
patient or the instruments. Water temperature is
closely adjustable over a wide range.
MEDICAL APPLICATION
PROBLEM: Compact
thermoelectric cooling system required to cool flow of
fluid through removable membrane liquid jacket for
mobile medical application.
SOLUTION: TECA
developed, designed and built the product you see in the
pictures above for the exclusive use of our customer.
Similar to the OEM beverage system cooler above; this
unit will be part of a larger system, and we expect to
produce thousands. The application is medical and will
be protected by patent. Thermoelectric cooling will be
employed for effective cooling of the brain for
emergency treatment of stroke victims.
MILITARY APPLICATION
PROBLEM: The United
State Navy needed a liquid chiller to circulate coolant
and also meet strict military requirements.
SOLUTION: Custom
thermoelectric liquid chiller using MIL rated
components.
Here’s another custom
military application by TECA. This is a liquid
chiller for circulating chilled coolant as part of a
tracking system on a NAVY ship. Note that the
chilled liquid circuit is effectively “sandwiched “
between two heat sinks with rugged Mil 901 fans.
Wiring and electrics are housed in a NEMA4X
enclosure with an O-ring gasket seal. This unit is rated
for shipboard use in salt-spray, shock and vibration.
AEROSPACE
MANUFACTURING QC
PROBLEM:
Modify a standard model chiller to meet a highly
specialized requirement, including liquid cooling, 24
VDC input and wall mounting.
SOLUTION: This
recirculating liquid chiller was developed for a
customer who needed something similar to the TECA
LHP-300CP
chiller; but it had to be a liquid
cooled liquid chiller - it had to be 24 VDC input - and
it had to be mounted on the wall! The application is
X-Ray inspection of aircraft engine parts. Temperature
controlled water is circulated through a heat exchanger
which is keeping photo diodes nice and cool, assuring
quality X-Ray imaging.
LABORATORY
PROBLEM:
Chill liquids being circulated by a peristaltic pump
under ultra-clean conditions.
When
handling and processing various fluids in laboratory and
electronic environments cleanliness is a must.
Peristaltic pumps have been developed for the purpose of
creating a fluid flow without contacting the fluid
itself.
SOLUTION:
TECA developed a liquid chiller to cool a fluids,
while satisfying the same cleanliness requirements. The
solution, based on our successful cold plate product
line, has proven to be
versatile and effective. Pictured here is the first
prototype of a multiple-pass tube cooler for use with a
peristaltic pump.
Applications range from laboratory to medical to
industrial.
