TEC (Thermo-Electric Cooler) temperature controllers have some unique and important features that other temperature controllers do not have. One of the key features of TEC controller offers is that it allows the target object reaching the set-point temperature in a short time. Let's use a 20×20×10 (mm) object as an example, driving a TEC with a TEC controller can allow the object reaching the set-point temperature within 5 seconds understand either cooling or heating mode, as the set-point temperature changes 1C. But if we drive a heater unit with a heater controller, it may take > 30 seconds to reach the same temperature under the heating mode, > 60 seconds under the cool-down mode. Another key feature of the TEC controller is that it can maintain the object temperature to be very close to the desired temperature, such as within 0.001C of set-point temperature. To summarize, these are the key features of the TEC controller:
• Short and equal settling time under both heating and cooling mode
• Precise object temperature control
• High temperature stability even with dynamic heat load
• Both cooling and heating capability
• Compact size
• No mechanical wearing and vibration parts
• Energy saving in many cases
