Among other EURECA has specialized on technical support and sales of peltier elements and accessories. We supply a wide range of elements from various manufacturers, which we resell with our own designations. Complete cooling systems, many accessories and a first class technical support for our customers, as e.g. the simulation of new applications, complete our range of supply.
Peltier elements (thermoelectrical elements) are used when a reliable cooling without moving parts is needed. Peltier elements act as heat pumps and transport heat from one of their side to the other. In order to reach a maximum performance the pumped heat has to be transferred to the surrounding air or to a cooling circuit. For this normally heat sinks (sometime with fans) or heat exchangers with a water cooling circuit are used.
Special types of peltier elements can be used as thermoelectrical generators. Here a temperature difference on the two sides of a peltier element generates an electrical power, which can be used to drive electronic circuits.
