Thermoelectric coolers from Rittal
employ the Peltier Effect to provide
100W of cooling output without
refrigerants or gases and with very
few moving parts. This is achieved by
passing an electric charge through
two dissimilar conductors which, as
discovered by 19th Century physicist
Jean-Charles Peltier, lowers the
temperature of the Peltier element.
Fans are then used to circulate the cool air.
Small in size (400mm H x 125mm W x 155mm D), and weighing just 3kg, Rittal's versatile thermoelectric coolers can be mounted internally or externally, horizontally or vertically and produce very little noise or vibration.
