Without it, signals degrade and electronic components are likely to fail. Convective airflow (letting cool air in at the bottom and warm air leave from the top) might be appropriate for low ambient temperature, dust-free conditions. But most […]

Here's why: 1. Works in any Orientation – Even Zero Gravity! Since there's no refrigerant or compressor, a thermoelectric cooling unit can be mounted in any orientation. This gives the transit case designer more flexibility to utilize available space. And, if […]

Here's a primer to get you up to speed. The Thermoelectric Effect Most engineers are familiar with the thermocouple.  A pair of dissimilar electrical conductors are arranged in parallel and joined at each end. When the temperature of one junction is raised relative to the […]

And, as designers continue to increase the power density of modern systems, the problem is getting worse. So, to avoid premature failure when electronics are mounted in a transit case, proper cooling is paramount. It's not enough to provide vents for convection […]
