by

Safety Certified AHP-2700CPV:

TECA announces safety certification and CE mark for TECA Model AHP-2700CPV Cold/Hot Plate. The AHP-2700CPV Conforms to UL 61010-1 & 61010-2-010; Certified to CSA STDS C22.2 # 61010-1 & 61010-2-010, and tested to FCC 47CFR PT 15: 2019; IEC 61326-1. The presence of the ETL-Listed and CE Marks on a thermoelectric cold/hot plate shows that the product has undergone and passed testing to rigorous industry product safety requirements. It is an important step in the product cycle because it demonstrates a commitment to the safety and quality of the product.

AHP-2700CPV

TECA Model AHP-2700CPV offers 690 watts cooling capacity and a 13.3 x 20.3 inch (1744 cm2) flat plate surface for heating and cooling. Often utilized in the OLED manufacturing process, the AHP-2700CPV has the second largest cold plate surface of all TECA plates. This makes it very convenient for testing components, food samples, and materials, as well as performing thermal stress tests of electronics.

The AHP-2700CPV is part of TECA’s family of versatile laboratory cold/hot plates. For applications where cooling or heating with direct contact is appropriate, the AHP-2700CPV has a flat, smooth, cleanable work surface. The plate surface can be built with tapped holes per end user’s requirements. Accessories such as remote sensors, plate covers, glass surface for dissection and more are available.

Thermoelectric cooling and heating technology means the AHP-2700CPV is reliable and maintenance free. As with all of TECA’s versatile laboratory cold/hot plates (“CPV” products), the AHP-2700CPV can heat or cool with precision. A tunable PWM temperature controller is integral and includes helpful features such as communications, ramp/soak profiles, both internal and external sensing and variable fan speed for quieter operation.

New Product: AHP-1300 Series

New Product: TECA Model AHP-1300

The AHP-1300 Model is a compact and lightweight solution for cooling small to medium enclosures. Utilizing 24 VDC input, this is a simple product yet includes the best features. Drawing only 2.3 amps in ECO mode and 11 amps in Active mode, the AHP-1300 will be an ideal solution whether the enclosure is NEMA-12 or NEMA-4X, or in a shock & vibration environment. The AHP-1300 fills a gap between two TECA legacy models, the AHP-1200 and AHP-1800. Modifications such as CARC paint for military applications are available.

UL for Power-Efficient Enclosure Coolers

by

New UL/CSA & CE Certification

TECA has partnered with Intertek to obtain EMC & Safety certification on our high efficiency, high performance group of thermoelectric coolers. The AHP & FHP-2200-Series, the AHP & FHP-3200-Series, and the AHP & FHP-4200-Series are newly CE Marked and certified to:

  • UL 60335-1 & 2-40
  • CSA C22.2#60335-1 & 2-40
  • IEC 60335-1 & 2-40
  • CENELEC EN 61000-6-2 & EN 61000-6-4

The presence of the ETL-Listed Mark (by Intertek) on an electronic appliance shows that the product has undergone and passed testing to rigorous industry product-safety requirements. It is an important step in the product cycle because it demonstrates a commitment to the safety and quality of the product.
Electronics housed in cabinets and enclosures require thermal protection. Thermoelectric devices maintain closed-loop cooling in NEMA-12, 4, and 4X enclosures. TECA’s enclosure coolers maintain the integrity of the environment classifications, Nema, and ingress protection ratings (IP ratings) of the enclosures they are installed on.

Eco-Mode is a passive cooling mode which uses significantly less energy in low demand times. Eco-Mode can reduce the need for active cooling and thereby can reduce the cost of operation of TECA’s efficient thermoelectric cabinet coolers.

TECA’s Peltier (thermoelectric) air conditioners cool and protect electronics and cool and heat enclosures in a variety of industries. The products on this page are ideal for electronics protection in communications, transit cases, kiosks, control panels, crane control boxes and other heat sensitive equipment.

To perform product safety certification testing, manufacturers are required to use Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) as qualified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The NRTL Program is part of OSHA’s directive to ensure products are safe for use in the U.S. workplace. It qualifies the private-sector organizations it recognizes as capable of determining whether a product meets safety standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and others.

Regarding our product safety testing, there is a choice in NRTL testing partners to conduct the certification review. TECA partners with Intertek to provide our products with the ETL Listed Mark. The ETL Listed Mark is the legal equivalent to the UL and CSA Listed Marks. A product bearing the ETL Listed Mark is determined to have met the requirements of prescribed product safety standards. Intertek is an OSHA-qualified NRTL. Intertek is also accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as an accredited Testing Organization and Certification Body.

Low Temperature, Low Price

Introducing TECA’s newest cold plate product, the AHP-301CAS:

What is a cascaded cold plate? It is a system of multiple layers- each cascade layer acts as a heat sink for the layer above it. This creates colder temperatures at the top layer, colder than what could be accomplished with a single cold plate. TECA has introduced a new product to its stable of cascaded cold plate systems. The AHP-301CAS is a two-stage cascade system and in a 25degC Ambient environment, the AHP-301CAS can reach as low as -35degC.

For even lower temperatures, TECA has long offered larger 2-stage and 3-stage cascaded systems. However, we recognized a need for a simpler, less expensive cascade solution. Some industrial and laboratory applications do not require as low as -76degC below delta-T for example (see model AHP-1200C31). Our standard single cold plates can reach a range of -10 to -15degC. The new AHP-301CAS is a ‘goldilocks’ cascade system; colder than usual but not more than is needed. The AHP-301CAS is priced 20% less than the next larger cascade and is half the price of our most powerful cascaded system.
