Thermoelectric Aircraft Galley Refrigerator

Thermoelectric Aircraft Galley Refrigerator:

TECA’s unique thermoelectric refrigerators have been successfully used for decades in large military transport aircrafts. Replacing traditional refrigerant-based refrigerators, TECA’s TR-059 offers consistent performance in a rugged environment. Our refrigerators utilize solid-state thermoelectric technology which does not require a compressor or chemical refrigerants.

MILITARY PROJECTOR

Military Projector:

A ruggedized enclosure for a military video projector caused excessive heat to build up from the high wattage bulb.

A more rugged version of TECA’s AHP-1200FF thermoelectric cooler / solid state air conditioner is used by military to cool a projector.

NUCLEAR PLANT

Nuclear Plant:

To cool equipment used for quality control inspection of pipes in nuclear energy plants. Evaluating the condition of pipes in nuclear power plants can be time consuming and costly. Automated and remote guided methods are available. Much of the electronics for the job must be rugged and durable, capable of handling many environmental conditions.

TECA designed, tested and built a system around standard portable cases. The unit shown is the prototype of the production unit, built into the top of a transportation case. Doing the design and prototype work of this nature often leads to happy customers and production jobs for TECA, as it did in this case!

MILITARY TROOP TRANSPORT

It was 1994 and a military contractor came to TECA with a problem. The existing Freon based refrigerators used in troop transport galleys had a MTBF measured in months.

They had recognized the potential of thermoelectrics and contracted with a vendor to design and build refrigerators for them.  The problem came when the original vendor’s product failed to live up to its potential. TECA was approached and given only several months to design, build and test three prototype refrigerators for the first new galley.

Less than three months later with test data in his hands and three refrigerators in the back of his truck a TECA rep delivered the goods. Over twenty years later the military and it’s allies around the world are still flying these same refrigerators and ordering more.
