FLOW CHEMISTRY / OEM PRODUCT:

A European company specializing in equipment for the continuous flow chemistry market required extreme temperatures for a new product. Integrating a customized version of TECA’s Liquid Cooled Cascaded Cold Plate made the customer’s product possible: they are able to reach temperatures from -70C to +80C. The customer reports that their new continuous flow reactor allows for the use of flow chemistry in many applications, achieving quicker results safely and with better control.

ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURE COOLING:

Customer plans to use the TEC unit to regulate the temperature of some electronics in an outdoor enclosure. The electronics will be mounted to a cold plate where they can be cooled by direct contact with the TEC. The walls of the enclosure will be insulated to reduce thermal losses to the outside world. The hot side of the TEC will be in a separate, ventilated part of the enclosure to carry away waste heat. Customer will provide longitudinal air flow along the heat sink, so the built-in fan will not be necessary. Originally considered using a solid-state air conditioner to cool the entire enclosure, but now prefers the direct-contact method for lower cooling requirements and smaller size.

The active load that needs to be cooled is about 50W. It will consist of a number of RF components (amps, sources, etc) mounted to a common cold plate. Several passive components will also be mounted to the plate. The whole temperature-controlled assembly will be insulated by an inch or so of foam or something similar. The ambient temperature range is roughly 0 to 100 degrees F at the extremes.

FLUID DISPENSING:

A leading manufacturer of fluid dispensing systems uses one of our Thermoelectric Cold Plate and Temperature Controller for controlling the fluid temperature of adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other materials in meter, mix and dispensing systems.

Unlike other larger, higher cost and less accurate heating and cooling devices, which use heater cartridges, refrigerant or water to heat and cool, these thermoelectric-effect temperature controllers use the Peltier-Seebeck effect to directly convert electrical voltage to thermal differentials. This effect, which is reversible, either heats or cools fluid materials with precision to the temperature set point. The compact Peltier thermoelectric device, temperature sensor and the temperature control is mounted to a manifold where the fluid passes through to be precisely heated, maintained or cooled.

COOLING LED CHIPS:

The customer was looking for a cooling solution for LED chips. With a heat load as high as 45 watts at times,
the customer needed to cool the chips quickly. The customer was able to utilize TECA's Loaner Program and
test the AHP-301CP cold plate before purchasing. Satisfied with the AHP-301CP performance, the customer has since
purchased several more and sold them as a part of his total system to his clients.

OEM LABORATORY EQUIPMENT:

As a component in an OEM laboratory chamber, the AHP-150CP condenses out moisture to control humidity.
The chamber is primarily used in hospital laboratories. The small size of the AHP-150CP helped reduce
the footprint of the chamber and helped increase the workspace within the chamber. The AHP-150CP is
maintenance free and the reliability of its thermoelectric cooling technology made our smallest cold plate
the perfect OEM solution for this customer.

INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE COOLING:

These folks needed to cool a thick fluid that ends up being gaskets when robotically dispensed. A custom version of our AHP-1200CP fit the bill perfectly. Now the product is dispensed consistently because of the temperature control provided by thermoelectrics.
