Liquid Cooled cold/hot plates have the freedom from the noise and vibration of fans. Water works as the coolant, carrying heat away from the cold plate source. TECA’s newest liquid-cooled cold/hot plate is also its largest. The LHP-1800CPV features a 15.2” X 19.2” footprint and a range from -30C to +130C (high temperature version). A water source is required. The LHP-1800CPV is ideal when powerful cooling is needed in a small footprint.

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.
The gradient plate shown is not TECA’s. It’s from a University. They had been running a hot plate on one end and a liquid cooled LHP-300CP with the plate in the evaluation of temperature preference in insects.
They needed better control and a wider temperature range and they wanted it on their existing plate. Many tests were run with the AHP-301CPV (shown) and the AHP-1200CPV to evaluate temperature uniformity and differential.
More and more researchers are looking into the versatile CPV line of cold plates to improve their tests with the CPV line of products and accessories. Call us. Maybe we can help you too.
In this example, the customer is using TECA’s AHP-1800CPV to keep a 60 pound lithium ion battery cool during R&D testing. This saves the customer the trouble of using a plate with pumped coolant to cool the battery, which was the original method.
The customer reports that upgrading to the TECA AHP-1800CPV “makes testing much easier”.
The AHP-1800CPV is the largest thermoelectric cold plate on the market with a plate surface area of 12.80 x 13.30 inches. The large surface area and robust cooling power were ideal for this application.
A research and development team in Europe uses the TECA Model AHP-1200CPV Cold Plate with a TECA Model TC-1 Tube Chiller attached.
Their process is proprietary but involves optical material and measurements. The TC-1 Tube Chiller is designed to heat or cool fluid without introducing contaminants to the fluid.
The fluid flows through the flexible tubing (various tubing diameters are possible) within the plate surface.
