Named after French physicist Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, who discovered the phenomenon in 1834, the module is widely used in applications the need precise temperature control or small-scale cooling ...

As a solid-state device, the module benefits from having no moving parts and can be used in an electronic system for cooling or heating; reversing the polarity of the applied voltage reverses the flow ...

Sometimes cooling needs to be controlled more strictly than a simple heat-sink and fan can handle. Rapidly fluctuating loads can make it difficult to keep a component cool and stable. However, this ...
