25th Anniversary



TECA is offering an exciting new product for thermal preference (thermonociception ) researchers: the Dual Cold Plate! TECA model AHP-1200DCP Dual Cold Plate can also be used in such applications as pain research, cold/hot dry wells and sample cooling & heating.

The Dual Cold plate houses two adjacent 13.0” X 6.37” plates. Each plate is independently programmable via the integral and tunable (within +/- 0.1ºC) TC-4300 temperature controllers. RS232 communications are standard. The user can readily employ custom programming through "EazyLog" Software (included) to run and chart multi-segment ramp/soak profiles, tuning, charting and data acquisition. Each plate can be controlled from -10 °C to 80 °C. Each plate has an integrated temperature sensor. However Remote Sensibility™ for location sensitive control is standard and remote sensors are available. Also available are standard and custom sized barriers for animal subjects.

The Dual Cold Plate is well suited for laboratory use.  The work surfaces are flat, smooth and cleanable. A quiet fan design reduces noise.

TECA is offering a new product to reach extremely low temperatures. Low temperature cascades utilize thermoelectric technology, allowing the top of the cascade surface to reach as cold as -40C! The cascade can consist of two or three stages. Each stage acts as a heat sink for the one above it. TECA offers three configurations of cascades for different performance and cooling-area surface needs. Each cascade attaches to an AHP-1200CPV. Cold Plate which is specially designed to work with the cascade.

This complete system includes an insulating cover to help maximize performance, integral power supply, temperature controller and “EZ-Log” data acquisition software. The TC-4300 is a tunable controller within a tolerance of + 0.1ºC. RS232 communications are standard. The user can readily employ custom programming through "EazyLog" Software to run and chart multi-segment ramp/soak profiles, tuning, charting and data acquisition.

The Low Temperature Cascade System is well suited for laboratory use.  The work surfaces are flat, smooth and cleanable. A quiet fan design reduces noise.

TECA is now offering two new versions of Solid State Cold Plates. Models AHP1200CPV and AHP301CPV  The "V" stands for VERSITILE, and here is why:  There are two convenient sizes, both with 100-240VAC input; both with all the same new features.  These cold plates both Heat and Cool with precise control by the TC4300 built in integral, tunable temperature controller.  RS232 communications are standard. so the user can readily employ custom programming through "EazyLog" Software, also standard, to run and chart multi segment ramp/soak profiles, tuning, charting and data acquisition.  These Cold Plates are well suited for laboratory use.  The work surfaces are flat, smooth and cleanable.  Many accessories are available such as customizable Feature Plates , Sterilizable Glass Dissection Plates, Clear Covers, and lots more. 

Beyond general cold plate applications; these new units are particularly well suited in Histology Labs, in Pain Research, Tissue Dissection, Reagent Cooling and Sample Heat/Cool Cycling.

 

 


The new TLC-900 thermoelectric liquid chiller from TECA with User-Friendly new design offers more standard features than any of its predecessors (or competitors).

Some of the standard features are:

  • New TC-4300 temperature controller

  • Unique air flow pattern

  • RS-232 communication

  • Universal 90-265 VAC power input

  • Remote sense capability

  • Easy front fill design

TECA Celebrates First Twenty Five Years

TECA, Thermoelectric Cooling America Corp. was started as a Division of Borg-Warner Corp. in Chicago.  The tiny division was started as a research project sometime in the 1950's. The exact date is lost to history.  Research was done in the areas of semi-conductor material and device fabrication for thermoelectric coolers.  The corporate strategic planners envisioned domestic refrigeration, air-conditioning, ice making and even cooling for submarines as they searched for breakthroughs in thermoelectric cooling metallurgy.

Borg-Warner Thermoelectrics worked on early projects for the military and aerospace industries. Then, in the 1970's air-conditioning for machines, controls and electronic enclosures became the company’s defining niche upon which a business could be built.

The division was spun off exactly twenty five years ago and became incorporated as Thermoelectric Cooling America Corporation also well known as TECA Corp.

The new TECA Corp. expanded its product offerings, always in the area of thermoelectric cooling, beyond solid state air-conditioning.   TECA makes full ranges of thermoelectric recirculating liquid chillers, cold plates both air cooled and liquid cooled and air-conditioners for some pretty nasty environments such as NEMA4 and NEMA4X as well as explosion proof C1D1 and C1D2.

The company still enjoys relationships with many loyal customers from the Borg-Warner days and gets new business by maintaining an eagerness to work on custom OEM cooling products in various fields such as medical, laboratory, telecommunications, automotive, automation, military and aerospace.

As we observe our 25th anniversary and look toward a bright future all of us at TECA wish you the very best.
