1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
n 1834 Jean Peltier discovered that by passing a current through two dissimilar conductors the junction of those
materials will either absorb or release heat depending on the direction of the current flow. Thirteen years earlier
Thomas Seebeck had discovered that current would flow when you placed a temperature gradient across the
junction of two dissimilar metals. These two discoveries were the basis of thermoelectrics. With the advent of
modern semiconductors thermoelectric devices became practical for real world applications and are now found in
everything from consumer goods to spacecraft.
Your EIC Solutions Thermoelectric Air Conditioner operates on this principle so there is no compressor and no
expensive, ozone depleting CFC’s. EIC’s air conditioners use Thermoelectric “modules” sandwiched between high
performance aluminum heat sinks, high CFM axial fans, and a patented electronic design to “pump” the heat from the
inside of your enclosure to the outside, without exposing your delicate electronics to any outside air or contaminates.
See Figure 1.1.
EIC uses only the highest quality components in our air conditioners and you can expect years of trouble free
cooling from these solid-state devices. Every unit we sell is backed by our one year parts and labor warranty.
