TECA Corporation introduces the AHP-6200 series, the newest member of our “Green Zone” air conditioners, offering up to 5,200 BTU/HR of thermoelectric cooling performance! This is the highest performance, commercially available thermoelectric air conditioner in the world, offering almost 60% more performance than the largest competing model. This achievement, combined with the high standard of Green Zone efficiency ratings, will allow for the broader use of thermoelectric air conditioners in many industries.

5200 BTU Air Conditioner

TECA’s exclusive temperature control with Eco-Mode combines the efficiencies of a heat exchanger with the robust, heat/cool power of thermoelectric modules. The energy-saving Eco-Mode begins passive cooling at 25 C; active cooling begins at 35 C and heat/cool versions will heat at 10C.
The AHP-6200 has a centrally-located power input cord, mounting gasket, large bolting flange and robust hardware which provide easier, user-friendly installation. A proprietary condensate control system is part of the design allowing the user to mount in any orientation or location on the enclosure. Construction is of stainless steel and aluminum.
The AHP-6200 is currently available with industrial grade or military grade sealed fans as needed, to serve a variety of environments. 120 or 240 VAC input voltage is available and customization is possible.

Continuing its industry leadership TECA introduces the AHP-4250 family of thermoelectric air conditioners. The AHP-4250 family boasts a capacity of 3600 BTU/HR, the highest performance commercially available thermoelectric air conditioner in the world. Styles from the Green Zone side of the family have efficiencies approaching 100%. Both styles come standard with TECA’s unique Eco-Mode TC-4F control which helps save energy by limiting the need for active cooling from the thermoelectric modules when it’s not needed.
The AHP-4250 has a centrally-located power input cord, mounting gasket, large bolting flange and robust hardware which provide easier, user-friendly installation. A proprietary condensate control system is part of the design allowing the user to mount in any orientation or location on the enclosure. Construction is of stainless steel and aluminum. There is also less intrusion into the enclosure as compared to competing thermoelectric air conditioners.

world's 1st 3600 BTU thermoelectric air conditioner

A temperature controller is built into each air conditioner, whether it is a cool-only or heat/cool configuration. The Eco-Mode set point is 25C, active cooling set point is 35C and in heat/cool configurations, the heat set point is 10C. Heating is achieved via reverse polarity of the thermoelectric modules.
The AHP-4250 series is available in normal and Green Zone styles. All have versions available with industrial grade or military grade sealed fans as needed, to serve a variety of environments. Various input voltages are available and customization is possible.

October 2012

TECA introduces two new thermoelectric air conditioner series. The AHP-2250 and AHP-3250 boast high performance and efficiency. A unique heat exchanger mode helps save energy by limiting the need for active cooling from the thermoelectric modules. For example, the AHP-3250 uses 83% less energy in heat exchanger mode than it does in active-cooling mode. Performance ratings are the highest of any thermoelectric air conditioner currently on the market. The AHP-3250 offers 2600 BTU/hr (762 watts) cooling and 3750 BTU/hr (1,100 watts) heating capacity.

The design of both the AHP-2250 and the AHP-3250 improve upon competing air conditioners. The centrally-located power input cord, mounting gasket, large bolting flange and robust hardware provide easier, user-friendly installation. There is less intrusion into the enclosure as compared to competing thermoelectric air conditioners.

June 2012

TECA introduces our largest heating and cooling plate. The AHP-1800CPV joins the VERSITILE family of laboratory solid-state cold plates (see also AHP-301CPV and AHP-1200CPV). The anodized aluminum plate surface is 13.3” x 12.8”. Like all of our VERSITILE cold plates, the AHP-1800CPV heats and cools with precision via the integral, tunable TC-4300 temperature controller. RS-232 communications and ”EasyLog” data logging software are included to run and chart multi-segment ramp/soak profiles. Integral or remote temperature sensing is possible with the flip of a switch. Universal 100-240 VAC input allows for the AHP-1800CPV to be integrated anywhere.
