Peltier with Heatsink and Fan
Peltier with Heatsink and Fan
A Peltier with Heatsink and Fan is a thermoelectric cooling module designed to efficiently manage heat dissipation in various applications, particularly in IoT devices, electronic systems, and industrial equipment. This component combines the benefits of a Peltier element, a heatsink, and a fan to provide effective temperature control and heat dissipation.
The Peltier with Heatsink and Fan module operates based on the principle of thermoelectric cooling, where an electric current is used to transfer heat from one side of the Peltier element to the other. The module's primary function is to cool down a specific area or component by absorbing heat from one side and dissipating it to the environment through the heatsink and fan.
