Thermoelectric Electronics Protection:
Gain Insight on Reliable Solutions for Demanding Environments
Enclosure cooling for critical applications is a particular strength of TECA’s. In the demanding environments often present in aerospace and military applications, a panel cooler not only has to be effective, it needs to be reliable, long lasting. TECA understands that to acheive this begins by procuring premium components for our military-grade air conditioners. We buy from Original Component Manufacturers when possible and alternatively from their licensed distributors. The thermoelectric modules and heat sinks we use are the highest quality available today. We use military-grade, sealed fans in our most durable air conditioners.
We are a factory-direct company and every TECA product is manufactured in Chicago. The majority of our production team have been with TECA for over 10 years. The development of our assembly practices is the result of having “seen it all” from the beginning of the thermoelectric cooling device market to today. We know what works. We adhere to strict consistency in the factory and transparency with our customers. As you browse our website, please feel free to call or email TECA directly with questions. We would love to hear from you.
TECA products are able to cool enclosures that are rated Nema-4X/Harsh EnvironmentNema-4X/Harsh Environment enclosures are intended for indoor and outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose directed water TECA products carrying the “X” designation use Mil-Spec fans, o-ring sealed power supplies, no exposed electronic components, stud/gasket mounting and Mil-Spec finishes., C1D2 & C1D1CID2 Class I, Division 2 (Hazardous Environments) – a location (1) in which volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only case of accidental rupture or breakdown such containers or systems, or in case of abnormal operation of equipment; which ignitable concentrations of vapors are normally prevented by mechanical ventilation, and which become hazardous through failure operation of the ventilating equipment; that is adjacent to a Class I, Division location, and to which ignitable concentrations gases or vapors might occasionally communicated unless such communication prevented by adequate positive-pressure ventilation from a source of clean air, safeguards against ventilation failure pro-vided.
