*1 Maximum Heat Absorption (Qcmax) refers to the amount of heat absorbed by the Peltier module when operated at maximum current. It is defined as the temperature difference between both ends of the ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) based on the Peltier effect can be used for general cooling, but more often they’re applied to maintain a precise temperature for subsystems and components. And unlike ...

If you need to cool something, the gold standard is using a gas compressor arrangement. Of course, there are definite downsides to that, like weight, power consumption, and vibrations. There are solid ...

Digital light processing (DLP) technology is now used in many smart automotive headlight systems to cast sharper and brighter light in front of a vehicle. These automotive headlight systems operate in ...

Coping with the heat generated by electronic components is a never‑ending problem. The era of the discrete transistor, promising low‑power circuit designs, has largely been superseded by ...

Ben Heck is a modder that landed his own show thanks to his modding prowess with all sorts of gadgets. Typically, we see gaming systems and related gear from Heck, but with the hot weather due to hit ...

MACS MA-8200 TEC VGA cooler - Retail Peltier cooling on a VGA card. A little while ago a marketing contact of Guru3D was trying to convince me that TEC cooling, or what we all know as Peltier cooling ...

When taking pictures of the night sky, any noise picked up by the sensor can obscure the desired result. One major cause of noise in CMOS sensors is heat—even small amounts can degrade the final image ...
