In 1834, Jean Peltier discovered that by passing a current through two dissimilar conductors, the junction of those materials will either absorb or release heat, depending on the direction of the current flow. Thirteen years earlier, Thomas Seebeck had discovered current would flow when you placed a temperature gradient across the junction of two dissimilar metals. These two discoveries were the basis of thermoelectrics. With the advent of modern semiconductors, thermoelectric assemblies became practical for real-world applications and are now found in everything from consumer goods to spacecraft.
Now, the underlying technology that permits the construction of these thermoelectric assemblies is known as “The Peltier Effect”. These assemblies utilize two elements of a semiconductor constructed from doped Bismuth Telluride. Upon application of a direct current (DC) power source, these devices generate a cooling action, countered by a generation of heat on the opposite side of the device. This technology allows for the production of Peltier thermoelectric coolers that rely on the efficient transfer of heat with little to no moving parts, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

Peltier thermoelectric coolers offer numerous benefits that make them an attractive choice for a wide range of cooling applications:
These advantages make Peltier thermoelectric coolers an ideal choice for applications requiring efficient, precise, and reliable temperature control in compact, environmentally conscious designs.
EIC Solutions has pioneered advanced thermoelectric assemblies that leverage the Peltier effect to deliver superior cooling performance across a wide range of applications. EIC’s Peltier assemblies use Thermoelectric “modules” sandwiched between high-performance aluminum heat sinks and one or more high CFM axial fans. Peltier assemblies are coupled with a patented electronic design to “pump” the heat from the inside of an enclosure to the outside, without exposing delicate electronics to any outside air or contaminants. Through proper packaging, EIC has harnessed the cooling properties of these thermoelectric modules into modular air conditioners that can dissipate typical loads of 200, 400, 800, 1500, 2500, 3500 or 5500 BTU/HR. Our assemblies are designed to provide efficient, reliable, and precise temperature control in even the most challenging environments.
From cooling sensitive electronic components in industrial settings to maintaining precise temperatures in medical equipment, EIC’s thermoelectric air-conditioned enclosures demonstrate remarkable versatility. Our solutions are tailored to meet the unique requirements of each industry, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
