Peltier cooling units offer easy installation and improved thermal performance

CUI Devices’ Thermal Management Group has added two new models to its Peltier cooling unit product offering. The CPM-2C and CPM-2H carry 7A and 8.5A current ratings respectively, adding to the 6A current rating of the earlier released CPM-2F. As complete Peltier cooling units, the models provide a tighter seal structure for water resistance and absorption of thermal stress and are easy to install. With extensive temperature deltas up to 85.9C (Th=50C) and 70mm x 70mm package sizes, these thermoelectric cooling units are ideal for industrial, refrigeration, and sealed applications where forced air cooling is not an option.

In addition to their tight seal structure and easy installation, the models also integrate the company's arcTEC structure. This unique construction uses a combination of thermally conductive resin between the ceramic and copper on the cold side of the module, high-temperature solder, and larger P/N elements made from a premium silicon ingot. When combined, these characteristics lessen stress on the module and improve performance during thermal cycling conditions, while facilitating faster, more uniform cooling.
