High-Temperature Peltier Elements from Peltron GmbH:
Peltron offers a wide range of Peltier elements for various applications. In addition to standard elements, thermocycler elements for cyclic operation, and models with a central bore, the product portfolio also includes high-temperature Peltier elements.
The applications of the different Peltier element types are diverse. Learn more about the Peltier effect.
Peltier elements are electrothermal converters and are based on the Peltier effect, generating a temperature difference when a current flows through them or a current flow when there is a temperature difference (Seebeck effect).
Peltier elements can therefore be used for both cooling and heating. A common and popular abbreviation for a Peltier element and Peltier cooler is TEC, which stands for “thermoelectric cooler.”
For example, the so-called Peltier effect, which is used in a Peltier element, has the opposite relationship to the Seebeck effect: An electric current causes a corresponding heat transfer, whereas the Seebeck effect describes the creation of a thermoelectric voltage, resulting in a current and, to a lesser extent, heat transfer. The Peltier effect is described as an electric current, resulting in heat transfer and, to a lesser extent, a thermoelectric voltage. Thus, both effects always occur in a current-carrying thermocouple. However, the Peltier effect is difficult to detect in metallic thermocouples. The Peltier effect was discovered by Jean Peltier in 1834, 13 years after the discovery of the Seebeck effect.
