Custom Thermoelectric Products

Designed and Built to Your Specifications

Whether it is a wholly custom product or a modified version of one of our standard products, more than thirty years of experience goes into every design. Performance, size, manufacturability, cost target – we optimize all of these and give you exactly what you need.

▰ Optimized for your application

▰ Customized power consumption, size, and noise level

▰ Guaranteed reliability and consistency in availability and manufacturing


An exclusive line of heat sinks, modules, vapor seals, and special optimization ensures that your competition will not surpass you.

A custom thermoelectric assembly gives the capacity and features needed without increased cost for anything extra.

Heat Sinks & Shrouds

ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS

Geometry:  Optimize the size and density of the fins to find the optimal balance of surface area
and air flow.

Orientation:  Direct air through the middle of the fins and out both ends for optimal efficiency or push air parallel to the fins for easy ducting.

Fans:  Maximize air flow and heat transfer while minimizing noise.

Shrouds:  Protect fins against physical damage and aid in routing air flow.

Coatings & Anodizing: 
Protect against corrosion and degradation in harsh environments.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

  • High-Density Extrusions

  • Bonded Fins

  • Pin Fins

  • Folded Fins

  • Custom Shrouds

Fans & Air Movers

ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS

Air Flow:  Maximize air flow for the fin geometry.

Power Consumption:  Balance power consumption and heat generated within the enclosure against net exchanger performance.

Speed:  Balance noise and power levels

Size:  Minimizing thickness and footprint, reduce protrusion in enclosures, minimize heat sink width

Noise Level:  Balance performance against noise and size.

Vibration:  Isolate fans through vibration mounts or decoupling from the exchanger

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Fluid Loops

ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS

Tube Material:  Stainless Steel and Copper Tubes

Tube Size and Length:  Optimized diameter and length for high heat transfer and low pressure restriction across the operating temperature range.

Static Mixers:  Static mixers and spring mixing coils improve fluid mixing to improve heat transfer in low-flow-rate applications.

Special Fittings:  Compression fittings, tube beads, or threaded fitting holes to interface with the fluid path.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

  • Traditional in-line liquid cooling

  • Compressed CO2 liquification

  • Dehumidification of instrument air
