Thermo-Electric Module Platforms

Temp Pictures Gallery

The ESS, Inc. Thermo-Electric Module Platform system or TEMP system relies upon an electrical energy process, called the Peltier effect, using electrons rather than refrigerant to remove heat from one place and move it to another. 

The TEMP thermal platform is constructed from aluminum alloy that is ground for flatness and plated for corrosion resistance and durability. The low profile design integrates well with existing workspaces and instrumentation. The TEMP system is controlled by the RC 9OO temperature controller.

Advantages of TEMP systems

• Simple and reliable solid state cooling of thermal platform
• Rapid and efficient heating and cooling of components   
• Very clean system in an extremely compact size
• No LN2, LCO2, mechanical compressor or refrigerant required

Drawbacks of TEMP systems as compared to CCTP or MRTP systems

• Limited cooling range down to about  +10º Celsius
• Limited heat removal capacity to about 60 Watts at room temperature
• Higher initial cost than CCTP
