TECHNICAL INFO

DEFENSE, SPACE, AND PHOTONICS LASER & TELECOM MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL

Thermoelectric coolers are utilized in a multitude of product areas. These include equipment used by military, medical, industrial, consumer, scientific/laboratory, and telecommunications organizations. Marlow Industries has developed products ranging from simple food and beverage coolers to extremely sophisticated temperature control systems for defense and space applications.

Unlike a simple heat sink, a thermoelectric cooler is an active cooling component. The unique ability of TE coolers to both heat and cool, permit them to lower the temperature of an object below ambient as well as to stabilize the temperature of objects which are subject to widely varying ambient conditions.

Thermoelectric coolers are generally considered for applications that require heat removal ranging from milliwatts up to several thousand watts. Most single-stage TE coolers, including both high and low current coolers, are capable of pumping a maximum of 3 to 6 watts per square centimeter (20 to 40 watts per square inch) of cooler surface area. Multiple coolers mounted thermally in parallel may be used to increase total heat pump performance. Large thermoelectric systems in the kilowatt range have been built in the past for specialized applications such as cooling within submarines and railroad cars.

See chart below for typical thermoelectric coolers applications.
