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.

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:

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.
