For all PT Series modules, wire is
stranded, 152 mm (6.0 in.) long
and PVC insulated.
Interfacing and Options:
Both hot and cold faces non-metallized. See chart on page 24.
Notes:
1) Qmax rated value at ∆T = 0°, Imax and Vmax, Th = 25°C.
2) Thickness for non-metallized versions only.
Definitions:
Imax Input current resulting in greatest ∆T (∆Tmax)[amps]
N
Number of thermocouples (PTx-7-x=71, PTx-12-x=127)
Qmax
Maximum amount of heat that can be absorbed at cold face
(occurs at I = Imax, ∆T = 0°)[watts]
Th
Temperature of the TEC hot face during operation [°C]
∆Tmax Maximum temperature difference a TEC can achieve (occurs
at I = Imax, Qc = 0)[°C]
