Neil Savage looks at thermoelectric coolers based on the Peltier effect that are designed for this task. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier coolers, are semiconductor devices ...

Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have developed a groundbreaking method to produce ...

The running gear for this build is nothing fancy; it’s just a standard thermoelectric cooling module and a fan. The trick was getting the airflow over the module right. [Ben] uses two air inlets ...

The other side of the Peltier needs to have a heat sink to keep it cooler than the hot side, and [bongodrummer] chose an unconventional bit of salvage for the job — the cylinder of a chainsaw ...

ISTA researchers develop thermoelectric materials for 3D printing - greatly improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing ...

In a new paper published in Science ("Interfacial bonding enhances thermoelectric cooling in 3D-printed materials"), researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) used a 3D ...

However, many existing thermoelectric device designs are heavy and complex, requiring additional cooling water that's used to maintain the necessary temperature difference. Now, a team of ...

A group of researchers from South Africa's Central University of Technology has designed a solar module integrating a cooling system relying on a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). TECs can convert heat ...

This month, a team of creative engineers introduced a method to reduce the manufacturing of cooling systems, while boosting sustainability across multiple industries. Their work delves into enhancing ...
