Thermal Management Assemblies
A module is a component. An assembly is the exchanger, the interface, the control and the mechanical design around it. We configure four standard architectures from our own modules.

Four Ways To Get Heat Out
Every thermoelectric assembly does the same three things: couple the cold side to the load, couple the hot side to something that can absorb the heat, and control the current in between. What changes between the four architectures is the medium on each side.
The choice is nearly always made by the hot side. If the surrounding air can take the heat, an air hot side is simplest. If it cannot, the heat has to leave in a liquid or through the structure itself.
Assemblies are configured per project from our TEC1, TEA1 and TES1 catalogue rather than sold as fixed items, so capacity and dimensions are confirmed at quotation.

Start From Where The Heat Has To Go
Air To Air Assemblies
Cool a sealed enclosure below ambient with no plumbing. Internal and external air never mix.

Air To Liquid Assemblies
Cool air and reject the heat into a liquid loop, so it leaves the area completely.

Liquid To Liquid Assemblies
Condition a circulating fluid loop without a compressor, with a smooth and stable set point.

Plate To Plate Assemblies
Direct conduction from a mounted load into a cold plate. No fans, no fluid, lowest profile.

Which Architecture Suits Your Installation
| Configuration | Cold side | Hot side | Fans | Plumbing | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air to air | Air | Air | Both sides | None | A sealed enclosure has to run below ambient in a dusty or humid place |
| Air to liquid | Air | Liquid | Cold side | Hot side loop | Ambient air is hot or unavailable, or heat must leave the area |
| Liquid to liquid | Liquid | Liquid | None | Both loops | A circulating process fluid has to be held at a set point |
| Plate to plate | Conduction | Conduction | None | None | The load bolts to a plate and the structure can take the heat |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Assemblies
Do you sell assemblies from a catalogue?
No. Assemblies are configured per project around modules from our own catalogue, because the exchangers and the control have to match your heat load, ambient range and enclosure. A catalogue capacity figure would not tell you what you would actually get.
Which configuration is most efficient?
Whichever gives the hot side the coolest, most stable baseline. That is usually a liquid hot side if a loop exists, and a well ventilated air hot side if it does not.
Can an assembly heat as well as cool?
Yes, by reversing module polarity. Outdoor telecom and industrial cabinets commonly need both.
What maintenance do assemblies need?
The thermoelectric modules have no moving parts. Fans and pumps are the wear items, and exchanger surfaces need to stay clear. Plate to plate assemblies have neither.
What do you need from me to quote?
Heat load in watts, the temperature to hold, ambient range, enclosure or loop details, supply voltage, space envelope and any ingress protection requirement.
