Te Technology TC-24-10 Cool-Only/Heat-Only Temperature Controller for Thermoelectric Devices Simple Type: Temperature Controller

The TC-24-10 provides cool-only or heat-only temperature control for thermoelectric devices. A jumper on the printed circuit board selects cooling or heating control. The controller uses single solid-state MOSFET device to modulate the thermoelectric device current based on the temperature set point. This methodology does not induce thermal cycling and so will not affect the thermoelectric module reliability as can on-off controllers. Adjustments for set-point, proportional gain, and integral gain are made via variable resistors (potentiometers) located on the printed circuit board. These adjustment values can be pre-programmed into the controller for large volume applications thus negating the need to adjust each controller individually. Mechanically, the controller’s printed circuit board is mounted to a metal bracket that is suitable for either horizontal or vertical orientation. The controller can operate in ambient temperatures from 0 °C up to 50 °C without generally requiring additional heat sinking.
