What is a TEC1-12706?

Peltier Element TEC1-12706 is thermoelectric cooling element that uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. This version is supporting 12V and current rating of 6A.

How do I choose a Peltier cooler?

The following steps are necessary when designing a thermoelectric cooling application:

1. Estimate heat load of the object to be cooled.
2. Define temperature working range of object and heat sink.
3. Choose a Peltier element that satisfies the requirements.
4. Choose a TEC controller with suitable power range.

Can you stack Peltier?

Then 8 W and so on. Directly stacking Peltier modules is problematic in practice. The heat-sinking required is substantial. You can think of a Peltier serial array (stacked) within a system as a machine that must must be ‘started’.

What is Peltier effect?

Peltier effect, the cooling of one junction and the heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors; the effect is even stronger in circuits containing dissimilar semiconductors.

How cold can Peltier devices get?

Integrating a customized version of TECA’s Liquid Cooled Cascaded Cold Plate made the customer’s product possible: they are able to reach temperatures from minus 70 °C to plus 80 °C.

Is Peltier effective?

Peltier modules are only around 5% efficient. This means there was about 3% of additional losses.
