When select thermoelectric products, you are recommended to follow below steps
1. Confirm the ambient temperature (Th);
2. Confirm the required temperature of the cooling space or objects (Tc);
3. Confirm the application’s heat load power (Q, the heat need to be removed or lowered);4. Determine the required cooling capacity (Qc, considering heat loss, it is recommended Qc = 1.5 * Q);
5. Find out thermoelectric products from the catalog, whose maximum heat pumping capacity (Qmax) matches with the Qc worked out by step #4 (±5W), and then refer to the expected Current and Voltage to pick out a suitable thermoelectric product. If the single thermoelectric module/ thermoelectric assembly/TEG could not meet the requirement, you can also use series or parallel connect multiple products to get higher performance, the quantity = Qc / Qmax (Single products).This is the simple model for selecting products, and need to be confirmed by further simulation and test.
