SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the purchase of Peltier cells, which are solid-state devices used for active cooling by transferring heat. The Peltier coefficient is a critical measure of their efficiency, defined by the equation \dot{Q} = \Pi_{AB} I, where \Pi_{AB} represents the thermocouple coefficient. Participants recommend searching online for suppliers, with eBay and Edmond Scientific mentioned as potential sources for purchasing Peltier cells. The conversation also touches on the international sale of these devices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Peltier effect and thermoelectric principles
  • Familiarity with the Peltier coefficient and its mathematical representation
  • Basic knowledge of online purchasing platforms
  • Awareness of international shipping regulations for electronic components
NEXT STEPS
  • Research suppliers of Peltier cells on platforms like eBay and Edmond Scientific
  • Explore the applications of Peltier devices in electronics cooling
  • Investigate the Peltier coefficient and its impact on thermoelectric efficiency
  • Learn about international shipping options for electronic components
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, hobbyists interested in thermoelectric cooling, and procurement specialists looking for suppliers of Peltier cells.

What is a Peltier Coefficient?

\dot{Q} = \Pi_{AB} I = \left( \Pi_B - \Pi_A \right) I
where \Pi_{AB} is the coefficient of the thermocouple, and \Pi_B and \Pi_A are the coefficient of each material.

It's a measure of how good a heat pump the Peltier device is.

These are sometimes used for active cooling of electronics etc. You supply electricity to the device, and it acts as a solid state refrigerator, moving heat from one place to another.

As with an ordinary refrigerator, there is a net production of heat, due to the power consumed by the device, but it can still make some things colder, by pumping the heat away from them.
 
Mhmm, I have a source saying that \dot{Q} = \Pi_{}, that \dot{Q} is the amount of heat evolved or absorbed per unit time. I have one saying that P= \Pi_{}, and the peltier coefficient is the amount of heat evolved or absorbed at a junction of a thermocouple when a current of one ampere passes through it for one second.
 
Could it be that the different sources are using different variables... Q-dot the big pi thing, and P are all the same thing?
 
Does someone knows where can I buy Peltier cells in internet?

I need to know where made and sell peltier cells and how they sell to others countries.

Thank in advance.

Just google Peltier Cells, and you'll get lots of ads by places that sell them.

eBay is always a good option. Maybe Edmond Scientific has something too
