Maintenance-free Peltier enclosure coolers

17 November 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Elen Enclosures has widened its program of enclosure and cabinet cooling accessories by adding the Ecold TCU range of thermo-electric (Peltier element) coolers/airconditioners. The supply program comprises four models - the TCU 50, TCU 100, TCU 200 and TCU 300 with rated cooling powers of 50, 100, 200 and 300 W.

The coolers are maintenance free, compact and easy to install, says Elen. The 50 and 100 W units are 320 mm high, 160 mm wide and 188 mm deep. They protrude only 88 mm into the enclosure. The 200 W and 300 W maintain the same height and depth and the width is 320 and 448 mm. The thermo-electric coolers can operate in any position and are insensitive to vibrations. IP55 rated models are suitable for outdoor installation.

These coolers operate from 24 V d.c. power supply (other DC supply voltages are optional) - matching DC power supplies are available. Accessories include thermostats and digital temperature controllers. Reversible versions (capable of cooling and heating) are also available.
