The Peltier Element is located in between the heatspreader and the heatsink.
Note: It is absolutely essential, the cold side of the Peltier Element is aligned
towards the heatspreader and the hot side is aligned towards the heatsink.
Wrong assembly will yield in total malfunction and instability of the system,
and may further damage your setup.
Finally, with its hot side, the Peltier Element is mounted to the heatsink. Make sure
the heatsink is designed large enough to well dissipate all the heat produced in the
system setup.
Pay attention that all joints within the heat flow feature lowest possible heat resis-
tance. Use adequate thermal interface materials like gap-filler, thermal compounds
or thermal conductive foil.
