Tec1-12715 Peltier Module
Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier, are solid-state heat pumps that utilize the Peltier effect to move heat. The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. A thermoelectric device creates voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely, when a voltage is applied to it, it creates a temperature difference.
Passing a current though a TEC transfers heat from one side to the other, typically producing a heat differential of around 40°C—or as much as 70°C in high-end devices—that can be used to transfer heat from one place to another.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Peltier works very well as long as you remove the heat from the hot side. After turning on the peltier Module, the hot side will heat quickly, the cold side will cool quickly. If you do not remove the heat from the hot side (with a heat sink or other device), the Peltier will quickly reach stasis and do nothing. We recommend using a heatsink to relaese heat generated from the hot side. Otherwise, it will be damaged by over-heated.
