Thermoelectric module or TEMs
is a module or device which works on the concept of peltier effect. Peltier effect can also be termed as Seebeck
effect, Thomson effect, thermoelectric effect or Peltier – seeback effect. This
effect was invented by French physicist john- Charles- Athanese Peltier.
According to peltier effect, electricity can cause heat difference by
connecting two different metals or vice versa means turn heat into electricity.
Thermoelectric modules have a
number of advantages:
·
Silent operation
·
Solid design
·
Absence of moving parts and vibrations
·
Absence of hazardous materials (gas or fluid)
·
Cooling to very low temperature
·
Environment friendly
Because of all these advantages,
thermoelectric modules have found various applications which make it popular in
whole range of industries:
v Telecom Industry: Provide cooling for transmission lasers,
photo diode, stabilize the temperature of optical channel.
v Biomedical Industry: Used in
temperature stabilize equipment, DNA analyzer
v Automotive Industry: Used in in-cabin
refrigerators, climate seats, air conditioning and electric power generation.
v Photonics industry: Used in laser
system cooling, temperature stabilizations and various sensors and detectors.
