TECA’s thermoelectric air conditioners are often used in industrial settings to keep control equipment cool. This application, however, shows another side of TECA’s enclosure coolers. Used in research laboratories across the country, TECA enclosure coolers have cooled incubation chambers, sensitive test equipment, glove boxes, and the like. Here is another example of a TECA thermoelectric air conditioner being used in the lab:
Thermoelectric IHP-3259-Series is an ideal enclosure cooler for NEMA-4/4X cooling. For cooling any NEMA-12/4/4X enclosure, the IHP-3259-Series can protect electronics equipment from overheating. Peltier cooling technology reliably works to cool electronic controls, electrical equipment, and other heat sensitive equipment. Reliable and low-maintenance Peltier technology is ideal for indoor or outdoor environments. The internally-mounted design of the IHP-2259 is ideal for junction boxes with little to no room extruding equipment. Power saving ECO-Mode feature increases efficiency.
Protect your equipment from failure due to overheating. Choose low maintenance thermoelectric TECA air conditioners for superior performance and reliability.

A manufacturer of specialty materials required cooling and heating of small enclosures. The system pictured here is used for the mixing of helium and hydrogen with dew point control.
TECA Model AHP-301FFHC is used with a TECA PID temperature controller to regulate the temperature of the enclosure in order to establish the moisture content of the “wet gas”, which is blended with dry gas to fix the dew point by way of the Buck Equation.
The customer is pleased with the results and continues to build more systems using TECA air conditioners and temperature controllers.
the AHP-301FF series is now replaced by newer model the AHP-401 series.
Specializing primarily in the food and beverage processing industries, one of our longtime customers uses TECA air conditioners in several applications. These include cooling or heating LCD screens, desktop computers, thin clients, and KVM kiosks. The locations of these applications are indoors, outdoors, in cold rooms and baking areas.
TECA’s comprehensive line of air conditioners fit the bills. We offer each model in different configurations according to the customer’s need regarding input voltage, mounting and application environment.
A leading military and aeronautics contractor needed a cooling solution for an enclosure which would be on a high altitude vessel. The system would be exposed to high winds and ambient elements present in the altitude.
Working with the customer; TECA sales and engineering team designed a cooling solution with specific intake and exhaust characteristics along with custom paint and finish process that could withstand the conditions it will be exposed to.
The environment of a paper mill is hostile to most equipment. Could a thermoelectric cooler stand up to such conditions?
TECA Model AHP-1200X Solid State Air Conditioner is a perfect solution. This TECA model AHP-1200Xwas returned to TECA for evaluation, after over 120,000 hours of duty. It just did not seem to cool as much any more. As a matter of fact, it was originally put to work in 1992 cooling an electronic enclosure in a paper mill. The customer was sure it needed to be replaced, but sent it back to us to see if anything could be salvaged.
In our inspection we found that the hot side heat sink was fouled with 14 years of newsprint sludge. Once the goop was cleaned out and the fan was free to spin; the unit ran like a charm!
