TM2 31-15-2.8 In Hand

TM2 30-15-2.8 is a two-stage cascade style thermoelectric cooler with a ∆Tmax of 95 °C (∆Tmax 105 °C with Th of 50 °C). That's up to 25 °C more ∆T than is possible with a single-stage module. A larger ∆Tmax is desirable for cooling some sensors, detectors and devices that work best at temperatures lower than is possible with a single stage module.

The 15x15mm cold-side will accommodate many of these devices, and others, while the 30x30mm hot-side provides a substantial surface area for heat-sinking. Typically powered by 12 or 15 volt DC power sources.

In electro-optic and photonic applications, TM2 30-15-2.8 is commonly used to maintain a cold, and constant, temperature in order to stabilize the wavelength detector or sensor.

Performance Curves (click image for enlargement)

Thermoelectric module performance curves are graphical representations showing the relationships between power applied and net cooling for a specific TE module.

Performance curves are valuable tools for quickly determining if a TE module is a suitable COOLER for an application; learning what power is required for an appropriate module to reach the desired temperature and heat pumping capacity; and to provide the basic information necessary for proper assembly design.

Curves with Th = 27 °C indicate what to expect operating in ambient temperatures around 20 °C (70 °F) with an operational "hot-side" temperature or Th about 7 °C above ambient.

Curves with Th = 50 °C are for outdoor, box-in-box, and other applications with ambient temperatures in the 40-50 °C range.
