Why Use Thermoelectrics Instead of Traditional Refrigerant-Based Systems
While most traditional refrigeration systems use designs based on compressors and refrigerants, more and more applications are turning to thermoelectric cooling as an alternative to traditional refrigeration technology. While thermoelectric cooling isn’t viable for every refrigeration, thermoelectric modules can significantly outperform traditional refrigerant-based cooling systems in certain applications.
