TEC

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005912

A solid-state active heat pump that transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, creating a temperature difference. It operates on the Peltier effect, where an electric current flowing through two dissimilar conductors causes heat absorption at one junction and heat release at the other. These devices are often used for precise temperature control in electronic components or small enclosures.
