What gives? Well, all these novelty “mini-fridges” have one last thing in common: They're actually thermoelectric coolers. We wouldn't blame you if you didn't notice that detail, because all ...

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

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 ...

Replacing traditional vapour-compression refrigerators, a thermoelectric refrigerator offers consistent performance in rugged environments without added effects on the environment. The TR-059 is an ...

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 ...

Thermoelectric coolers, also called solid-state refrigerators, can induce localized cooling by using an electric current to transfer heat from one side of the device to another. Their long lifetimes, ...

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

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 ...

Researchers from India's Shoolini University have conducted a field experiment to analyze the effect of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and water cooling on the temperatures of PV modules.
