Thermoelectric cooler takes heat off enclosed electronics

By Paul Dvorak | August 17, 2011

McLean Thermoelectric coolers provide 60, 100 or 200 W of cooling for applications including telecommunications, battery cabinets, industrial enclosures, security systems and more.

The McLean Thermoelectric Cooler is for electronic components in small indoor or outdoor electronic enclosures. It works on the Peltier effect. A current through a junction of different materials generates heat at one junction and absorbes it at the other. The coolers provide 60, 100 or 200 W of cooling for applications including telecommunications, battery cabinets, industrial enclosures, security systems and more. The compact devices need no refrigerant, compressors or filters, providing an ideal solution for demanding or low-maintenance environments. The 24 or 48-Vdc coolers are CE- and UL-recognized, and available in 13 models.

The units minimizes downtime and component loss by removing heat around critical components within an enclosure. The compact coolers can be mounted vertically or horizontally and multiple units may be used on an enclosure to increase the cooling capacity. The coolers only have fans with moving parts, requiring minimal maintenance. They do not require replenishment of fluids—as do refrigerant-based coolers. A filterless design further reduces maintenance intervals.

A few additional features include:

  • Includes 13 standard models with and without sheet metal shroud
  • Prewired with simple terminal block for easy wiring connection
  • Meets industrial and outdoor requirements
  • CE and UL recognized; UL Type 3R/Type 4
  • Filterless design reduces maintenance requirements

The manufacturer offers Thermal Management Sizing and Selection Software to help select the right thermal management products for their application.
