UL for Power-Efficient Enclosure Coolers

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.

Committed to Safety

New UL, CSA Certification for Enclosure Coolers:

The presence of the ETL-Listed Mark on an electronics enclosure cooler shows that the cooler 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. TECA announces all versions (AC and DC input) of our two most popular legacy product families (AHP-1200-Series and AHP-1800-Series) are ETL listed (Intertek) to UL & CSA safety standards. This includes our new certification status for the 24 vdc & 48 vdc input variations of these products.

Aircraft Galley Refrigerator

An Eco-Friendly Aircraft Galley Refrigerator:

“Green” Air Transportable Food Storage: Replacing traditional refrigerant-based refrigerators, TECA’s Model TR-059 offers consistent performance in a rugged environment. Our refrigerators have an exceptionally long service life and utilize solid-state thermoelectric technology. Thermoelectric devices do not require a compressor or chemical refrigerants and are therefore environmentally friendly. Ownership costs are very low due to the virtually maintenance-free nature of the technology and the rugged reliability of TECA’s thermoelectric cooling components. Our design optimizes the efficacy and performance potential of the cooling components.

Liquid Cooled Cold Plate

Newest Liquid Cooled Cold/Hot Plate LHP-1800CPV:

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.
