Power-Cycling Series
PC8,12,F1,4040,TA,W6
Thermal Cycling Module
The PowerCycling Series is a thermoelectric module (TEM) designed for thermal cycling
between multiple temperature set points and is ideal for applications in healthcare
[and others] where fast temperature changes are required. The module is specially
constructed to reduce the amount of stress induced on the TE elements during operation.
This product line has been tested to withstand 500K cycles without degradation in
performance. The TEMs are assembled using Bismuth Telluride semiconductor material
and thermally conductive Aluminum Oxide ceramics.
