Fast Heating & Cooling

PelTherm is a powerful temperature control system designed as an embeddable module for e.g. laboratory robot stations. It consists of temperature units, a control unit and a cooling unit. Accurate temperature control is guaranteed between -2 °C and +80 °C. The max. speed of heating is 10 °C/min and the max. speed of cooling is 6 °C/min. The temperature control system uses Peltier elements. The elements are based on differently doped semiconductors which are in contact with each other. The different doping leads to different levels of energy of conduction bands. The passage of an electron through the contact will lead to either absorbtion or emission of heat resulting in heating or cooling depending on the direction of the current. Heating and cooling with Peltier elements is fast and doesn’t need any movable parts.

Precise Temperature control devices

TEMPERATURE UNIT

The small size of the temperature unit makes it so easy for integration.
Up to 6 temperature units can work independently at the same time.
The build-in peltier element features precise temperature control, fast
heating and cooling. 3T analytik provides also adaptor plates for deep
well plates (DWP), micro-titer plates (MTP), lab tubes and plates.

Dimensions (w x d x h): 132 x 105 x 31,5 mm
Weight: 0,6 kg

CONTROL UNIT

The control unit is connected by USB to the computer monitoring the
laboratory robot station.In order to integrate the PelTherm´s control,
an application programming interface (API) is provided.

Dimensions (w x d x h): 362 x 240 x 265 mm
Weight: 6,3 kg

COOLING UNIT

The cooling unit connects the Peltier subsystems in daisy chain
fashion, forming a closed loop liquid cooling circuit. An electrical
pump transports excess heat to a radiator equipped with ventilators.
Noise is 43 dB under full-load.
