What is thermoelectric technology?
Solid State Cooling Systems utilizes thermoelectric technology to precisely control temperature as an alternative to traditional recirculating chillers which use compressors and refrigerants, such as Freon, to control temperature.
The heart of our systems is a thermoelectric heat exchanger which is made up of a liquid cold plate, thermoelectric modules to precisely control the temperature of the recirculating fluid and some means of disposing of waste heat, either using heat sinks and a fan or using facility process chilled water.
Thermoelectric modules leverage an electrical phenomenon called the “Peltier effect”, which was discovered back in 1834 by Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, but was not broadly used in commercial applications until semiconductor technology advanced in the late 1900s. Now, thermoelectric modules are found in a wide variety of products around the world.
Each thermoelectric module is made up of a series string of different types of semiconductor blocks sandwiched between two ceramic plates. The semiconductor block materials are carefully selected to provide high electrical conductivity with low thermal conductivity across the junctions. As a result, when a precise electrical current is sent through the module, a precise thermal differential is achieved between the two ceramic plates. Reversing the direction of the current reverses the temperature differential, so thermoelectric modules can be used to heat or cool.
