| Definitions: |
| I |
Input Amps to the TEC (in Amps) |
| Imax |
Input Amps that produce the maximum dT [dTmax] (in Amps) |
| Qc |
Amount of heat that can be absorbed at the cold side face of the TEC (in watts) |
| Qmax |
Maximum amount of heat that can be absorbed at the cold side. This occurrs at I = Imax and when dT = 0. (in Watts) |
| Th |
Temperature of the hot side face of the TEC (in °C) |
| Tc |
Temperature of the cold side face of the TEC (in °C) |
| dT |
Difference in temperature between the hot side (Th) and the cold side (Tc). dT = Th-Tc (in °C) |
| dTmax |
Maximum difference in temperature a TEC can achieve between the hot side (Th) and the cold side (Tc) of the TEC. This occurrs at I = Imax and when Qc = 0. (in °C) |
| Vmax |
Voltage at I = Imax (in Volts) |
