Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.1
The cooling power and heat dissipation capability of the Goldeye is limited.
Therefore, the temperature difference achievable by the TEC is limited as well.
Table 122 displays the maximum temperature difference, and the maximum power
necessary to achieve that.

The first temperature setpoint may be set lower than +20 °C. However, if the
sensor temperature is lower than the ambient temperature, especially in humid
environments, condensation may occur.
