How much heat can be transferred with a thermoelectric air-to-air exchanger?
The cooling capacity or Qmax for our thermoelectric air conditioners describes the number of Watts that can be removed from an enclosure without lowering the temperature below ambient (DT=0). This is also known as the nominal cooling capacity. In general, the Qmax value is of most interest for users who don’t require cooling but rather simply don’t want the air in the enclosure to increase in temperature above ambient. When cooling below ambient is necessary, the capacity in Watts or Btu/hour decreases the as the exchanger works to provide colder temperatures. See the curves for a particular unit to see how many Watts can be extracted at a given temperature drop. Each TAC60 is rated for 60 Watts or 204 BTU/h. Simply add additional units, wired in series or in parallel to increase capacity. Contact our technical support for assistance as necessary.
