TEC-1612 Peltier Single-Stage Gas Cooler

Description

The TEC-1612 has a single easily removable condenser encased in an insulated aluminum block and cooled by two state-of-the-art thermoelectric heat pumps. Dual high-output axial fans are coupled with the latest thermosiphon heat exchangers to support the thermoelectric units and allow the gas conditioner to operate in a wider range of ambient conditions. The condenser is designed to effectively separate condensed moisture from a sample gas, while the integrated peristaltic pump ensures rapid removal of condensation from the system.

The TEC-1612 is the perfect choice for your modular gas sampling system. We listened to feedback and will continue to strive to deliver an effective solution that is lightweight and rugged. 

Pinnacle Cooling Technology
Water vapor is removed by cooling the sample gas to a constant dew point with the Apex Pinnacle Heat pump. The Pinnacle assembly in the TEC-1612 utilizes two thermoelectric modules, which operate on the Peltier effect.

Stainless Steel Condenser
The condenser is fabricated from 316 stainless steel and can be treated with a variety of coatings: silicon, polyfluorinated, silane; polar or non-polar. The micro annular flow channel provides maximum condensation efficiency with minimum contact time. The single condenser setup improves response time. 

Pinnacle Cooling Unit
The Pinnacle heat pump unit includes a highly conductive aluminum block fitted with two rugged thermoelectric modules, a stainless-steel condenser, a high-efficiency heat exchanger, an exhaust fan, and a PID temperature controller. 

The heat pump uses an extremely reliable rugged solid-state thermoelectric module (TEC) and a low-resistance heat exchanger with a copper base and heat pipes with high thermal conductivity for removing heat from the hot side of the TEC and dispersing the heat to the surrounding environment via the exhaust fan.
